In Pakistan, after flour, vegetables, eggs and chicken, sugar prices have also skyrocketed. In most parts of the country, including the capital Islamabad, a kg of sugar is selling for close to Rs 100.

Imran, who dreamed of a new Pakistan, recently took a U-turn on his decision to buy sugar from India at a cheaper price.

Shahzad Akbar, a close adviser to Imran Khan, has blamed speculators for the rising price of sugar. Despite his own government, he has claimed that rumors of a sugar shortage have spread in the country, which has led to a rise in prices. He said Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had taken action against several people in the case.
