Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Shaukat Yousafzai has suggested the public to use yogurt instead of tomatoes, which recently crossed Rs300 per kg in the domestic market. He advised the public to stop buying the overpriced tomatoes and use yogurt as its replacement in their daily meals.

Video shows minster saying “We have stopped using tomatoes in our meals, we use yogurt instead. You should also stop using it until its prices come down to a normal level. It all depends on demand and supply … prices will go up due to increased demand and when you stop using it then automatically prices will decrease”

The video came after the price of tomatoes skyrocketed and the price control committees failed to enforce the government-approved rates throughout the country.
