The premier further said, “I assure our people that I will not relent until all involved in artificially-created price hikes are identified & punished.”

Prices of wheat and sugar skyrocketed last month after the food items disappeared from markets across the country.

During a public gathering, PM Imran had also admitted that the artificial crisis had emerged as a result of the government’s negligence.
