Govt anti-farmer, says Pirzada

ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Inter-Provincial Coordination Riaz Pirzada has once again came down hard on his government as he called it anti-farmer.

Addressing a seminar at the National Agriculture Research Council, he said all farmers, he himself included, were crushed under bank loans, while middlemen and traders had built plazas in Duabi by robbing farmers. Traders mafia has destroyed country, and then it is asked, “why I was ousted,” he said in bitter manner.

“We are asked why we criticize government while being part of the government. Why shouldn’t we criticize? After all what we earned,” he asked.
