Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday rejected any possibility of giving a go-ahead to the private sector to import wheat after catastrophic floods compromised the country’s food security. “In view of an emergency situation, I will not allow the private sector to import wheat,” he said, adding that the government was aiming to get better bidding on the wheat. The PM ruled out the idea while chairing a review meeting of the National Flood Response and Coordination Centre.
