In the 1990s there was the wheat crisis and now there is the sugar crisis. Sugar has mysteriously disappeared from every city in Pakistan. People are condemning the government and rightly so. The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) slogan 'roti, kapra aur makaan' meaning food, clothing and shelter . The existing government is of the PPP and is doing exactly the opposite of its promise.
Pakistan has never experienced such a scale of scarcity of food items as it has since the PPP started running the country.
Some people claim that Zardari is grabbing businesses presently he owns all the sugar mills. All he wants to do is steal as much as he can. He does not care if the people of Pakistan starve or not. He does not care about popularity - he only cares about satisfying his personal greed. This has got to stop and an investigation has to be conducted as to who is responsible for this overall food crisis. Who these people are should be taken too task. In any case if President Zardari is not doing the things people say he is, it is still his responsibility to resolve this matter before it becomes increasingly worse.
This food crisis is artificial. Food is either being hoarded or being smuggled out. The smugglers cannot be caught because they have friends in high places. The first priority of every government is food security. Ensuring that everyone in the country has food at a low price. The country comes first. The requirements of the country have to be met then it should be exported.
I suppose the existing rulers do not have the basic concept of good governance.
