Punjab and other small provinces are at odds over the supply of wheat and the fixation for its support price.
Opposing the fixation of the support price for wheat made by the Sindh and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) governments, the Punjab government has expressed its apprehension before the Supreme Court (SC).
The Punjab government has said that it will not be able to procure its target of wheat due to the decision made by K-P and Sindh.
The Punjab government also complained that the provincial governments of K-P and Sindh has put the food security of the whole country at risk by creating a market distortion, adding that the governments are violating the established norm of the uniform support price across the country.
On the other hand, the K-P government has already approached the SC against the Punjab government’s blocking of the supply of wheat to the north-western province.
