Jahangir Tareen Cries Foul Over Sugar Crisis Report, Terms JIT's Findings Biased

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Khan Tareen, who was recently named as one of the beneficiaries of the sugar crisis in the country, has raised reservations on the transparency of the commission that included his name in the findings.

He responded to journalist Mehr Bokhari's tweet on Thursday, where she questioned if the JIT formed to probe the sugar crisis was influenced. Jahangir Tareen said that he has 'nothing to hide' and will open the doors of his sugar mills for forensics but the owners of main sugar mills who have had more power over the political decision making of the country should be questioned.

He further asked as to what criteria was used to select 9 mills for the forensic audit.

Jahangir Khan Tareen was earlier removed from his position as Chair of Task Force on Agriculture in light of findings of the Sugar and Wheat Inquiry Report, but he claimed that he never held the said position.
