پوری قوم جانتی ہےکہ شوگر مافیا کا سب سے بڑا سرغنہ شریف خاندان ہے۔انہوں نے سیاست کو کاروبار کیلئے استعمال کیا۔دولت کی ہوس ان کی سیاست کا محور رہا جس کیلئے انہوں نے اداروں کا بے دردی سےاستعمال کیا۔عمران خان کی سیاست غریب عوام کے حقوق کیلئےہے۔شریف مافیا نے ہمیشہ عوام کا استحصال کیا۔

Earlier on Thursday, the federal cabinet decided to make public the report of a sugar-inquiry commission. Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Director General Wajid Zia presented the forensic report comprising 200 pages in the cabinet meeting.
The inquiry report finds several government officials, opposition members, and most of sugar mill owners guilty. According to reports, Asad Umar, Razzaq Dawood, Jahangir Tareen, Khusro Bakhtiar, Monis Elahi, Salman Shehbaz, and several others have also been found guilty.
The report said that the owners of sugar mills evaded sales tax and were involved in fake sales. The report further said that allowing sugar exports along with providing subsidy to sugar were wrong decisions.
