Advisor to the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Information and Public Relations, Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif, has issued a strong response to Maryam Nawaz\u2019s statement regarding the plight of Punjab farmers.
\nIn a statement, he urged the Punjab CM to address farmers\u2019 grievances directly, questioning why they were left struggling to sell their wheat.
\nReacting to Maryam\u2019s remarks on the \u201cKisan Card,\u201d Saif has stated that Punjab\u2019s farmers have yet to see relief despite the government\u2019s promised 300 billion rupee losses into the agriculture sector.
\nHe pointed out that wheat stocks remain unsold due to Punjab\u2019s alleged policy failures, leading to farmer protests that have become a \u201cdaily routine.\u201d
\nHe added that farmers have been forced into financial desperation, with some driven to extreme measures. \u201cThe Punjab government should thank Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for purchasing wheat from Punjab\u2019s farmers,\u201d he remarked, emphasizing that supporting farmers should be a priority over promoting the Kisan Card initiative.
\nThe Punjab government should prioritize direct wheat procurement to ensure farmers receive fair compensation, noting that farmers are the backbone of the country\u2019s economy, and their exploitation harms the nation as a whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
