Import of Indian food items after allies’ nod: Miftah

Federal Minister for Finance Miftah Ismael said on Wednesday that the government would decide on the import of food items from India after consultations with its coalition partners as several international organisations working in the country had sought permission for that, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

In a tweet, he said that the government would not only take the coalition parties into confidence but also all the stakeholders before taking the decision. 

More than one international agency has approached the govt to allow them to bring food items from India through the land border. The govt will take the decision to allow imports or not based on supply shortage position, after consulting its coalition partners & key stakeholders
