Opposition leader Punjab Assembly Raja Riaz Ahmad has welcomed the decision of Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) to increase wheat support price.Talking to APP here on Wednesday, he said that it would not only help farmers to get reasonable price of their produce but also encourage them to increase the yeild. Raja Riaz said that Pakistan People’s Party represents the poor and steps have been taken by the federal government to make the farmers self-reliant. He said that PPP led government had increased wheat support price twice during the last four and a half years tenure which indicates pro-farmer policies of the government.
