ISLAMABAD: Special Advisor to Prime Minister on Youth Affairs Usman Dar on Wednesday said that action would be taken against those responsible for the flour crisis in the country if named by the committee formed to probe the matter, ARY NEWS reported.
Talking during ARY NEWS programme ‘Off The Record’, he said that a committee is formed to identify the culprits involved in hatching up flour crisis and it is the right of masses that the government matters should be made public.
“Prime Minister [Imran Khan] will bring forward the names of those responsible for the flour crisis in the country,” he announced.
Dar, however, lamented that the opposition parties played politics on the issue rather than resolving it during the crisis-time.

He said that the federal government resolved the flour crisis in the country and anyone within the PTI ranks would suffer the consequences if found enjoying on the taxpayers’ money.
