ISLAMABAD, Apr 6 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 7th Apr, 2020 ) :Spokesman to the Prime Minister Nadeem Afzal Chan Monday said the Federal government had not given any kind of subsidy to sugar mills during the ongoing tenure.

Talking to a private news channel, he said the previous governments of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party had given subsidy to the sugar mills during their tenures.

He said the last PML-N government had always preferred to issue subsidy to sugar mills to provide benefits to their leaders who were owner of the mills.
