Re: So where is the Aatta 'wheat flour' crowd now?
Funny that today's dawn has a picture of a truck filled with wheat flour bags, while the seller sleeps on top of the truck, waiting for a buyer. The price as per dawn? Rs. 14 per kilo (280 rupees for 20 Kg bag). Even though the camera guy has sent the pic, but the lefties at dawn would not make it a positive story that wheat crisis has largely diminished. Oh these leftie liberals! It is so difficult for them to say anything positive about the country. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
The atta issue was never a govt issue. This is a global issue. People expected the govt to subsidise atta rather than paying the market price.
In a free market where there is a global what issue, people chose to sell atta at market rate, rather than at subsidised rates to the govt. However the anti-Musharaf people as usual took the opportunity to bash the great President Musharaf as expected for no reason. :)
