Federal Minister for Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan, Ali Amin Gandapur, had asked people to reduce the intake of sugar and flour to control inflation.
He expressed these views while addressing a rally in AJK on Wednesday. He said by reducing the intake of these two commodities people can fulfill their national duty as there will be less need to import the edibles from other countries.
“Have we become so selfish that we can not sacrifice a little for our nation? If there is nine percent inflation, I eat 100 bites of bread, can’t I eat nine fewer bites of the bread and give this sacrifice for my nation?”
