PESHAWAR
Provincial Ameer Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Senator Maulana Attaur Rehman on Sunday announced province-wise protest from January 8 to 15 against stoppage of flour supply by the Punjab government led by PTI.
In a statement issued here, Maulana Attaur Rehman urged JUI’s sub organizations to hold protest demonstrations in their respective areas in the district headquarters of the party.
He alleged Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government with the help of hoarders has created price-hike crisis. He said that silence by the KP government over the decision of stoppage of flour supply by the Punjab government was proof of the incompetence of PTI government.
He said the 20Kg sack of flour was available in the entire Punjab province at the rate of Rs 1,300; while the same sack was not available in the markets and was selling at the rate of Rs 3,300 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Maulana said that all the district administrations failed to provide relief to masses and appealed to the general public to participate in the JUIs’ protests throughout the province against stoppage of flour supply and against incompetency of provincial government in service delivery.
