PM Imran Orders FBR to Take Strict Action Against Sugar Mafia

Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan has expressed displeasure over the Federal Board of Revenue’s (FBR) failure to make any recoveries from the sugar mills owned by the government personalities.

The FBR officials presented a report showing recoveries of more than Rs. 400 billion from the sugar mills in sugar scam. However, much to the premier’s resentment, most of the recoveries were made from small sugar mills, and the ‘big fishes’ were left alone.
