LAHORE: Punjab Information Minister Azma Bokhari said on Monday Bilawal Bhutto used harsh language against Punjab’s leadership in a rally, “but if we merely ask questions, it is considered as disrespect”.

Addressing a press conference at DGPR here, she said: “Why do those who raise voices for Punjab’s farmers, fail to see the state of Sindh’s farmers? If Punjab did not purchase wheat under its policy, it did not leave farmers alone at all. “Punjab’s farmers will be given a Rs100 billion package, Rs5,000 per acre, and a Rs25 billion wheat programme.
