Islamabad: The commission to probe sugar and wheat crisis has summoned Minister for Planning Asad Umar to record his statement.
It is pertinent to mention here that yesterday Asad Umar has said that inquiry commission investigating sugar crisis should summon him instead of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
شاہد خاقان نے مطالبہ کیا ہے کے مجھے اور وزیراعظم کو چینی کے والا کمیشن، ایکسپورٹ کی اجازت کے فیصلے کے بارے میں پوچھ گچھ کے لئے بلایے. کابینہ نے یہ فیصلہ ecc کی سفارش پر کیا تھا. اگر سوال ہے تو مجھ سے پوچھا جائے، وزیراعظم سے نہیں. کمیشن سے درخواست ہے کے مجھے ظرور بلایا جائے

In a tweet, Asad Umar said “Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has demanded that I and Prime Minister Imran Khan should be summoned by sugar inquiry commission”.
He added that the decision was taken by the cabinet on the recommendation of the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC), so he should be summoned to answer the commission’s questions instead of Prime Minister.
