‘We don’t need Indian tomatoes’ says agriculture minister of Pakistan

SRINAGAR, (PTK): Pakistan’s Agriculture Minister Nauman Langrial today said that Pakistan doesn’t need India’s tomatoes.

“We don’t need vegetables from India, and the ban on tomatoes won’t affect Pakistan in any way,” he said. “Pakistan is producing its own tomatoes in Balochistan, Sindh, and Punjab,” Langrial said.

Earlier Farmers threatened on Monday to ban the export of tomatoes to Pakistan in reaction to the Pulwama attack in which 44 CRPF men were killed.

We won’t send tomatoes to Pakistan, farmers said. “Now Pakistan will crave red tomatoes but we don’t want Pakistanis to eat our tomatoes and give birth to enemies.” (PTK)
