The non-seriousness of the government could be gauge by the fact that the prime minister did not call the Punjab minister for industry and trade to the last price review meeting while the issue of prices falls in the portfolio of the ministry. This shows either the PM did not want to see Industry Minister Mian Aslam Iqbal or the prime minister’s team did know as to whom to ask about the issue related to the public.
