ISLAMABAD (September 11 2009): Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani has ordered his cook to stop making sweet dishes as part of a drive to bring down the price of sugar. A cabinet meeting on Wednesday formed a committee to look into the price of sugar and submit recommendations within 10 days, but with public pressure mounting during the Muslim fasting month of Ramazan, Gilani has sought to set a personal example.
"The orders are being implemented from today," an official at the Prime Minister House said. "He wants to tell the people that they can live healthier by taking less sugar." "Let's persuade people to consume less sugar and then we will see where these hoarders sell their sugar," Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira said on Wednesday.
