Maysan PC condemns cabinet decision over canceling Ration Card

Maysan, Amara (IraqiNews.com) The Provincial Council of Maysan province condemned the decision of the Council of Ministers over canceling the Ration Card.

The head of Maysan PC, Abdul Hussien Abdul Ridha, assured in press conference accompanied by Maysan PC members and the representatives of the political blocs in the province on Saturday that “This decision is immature,” condemning “The statements launched by the blocs whose Ministers voted on canceling the Ration Card.”

“Taking such decision by the Government under the claim of fighting terrorism is a mistake because if the Government can not control the corruption within the Ministry of Trade, how it will control the markets,” he mentioned.

“Raising the cash replacement is useless if we have free markets,” he continued.

“The decision will result victimizing the poor people so the government should reconsider it,” he concluded.

Earlier, the CoM decided, during its regular meeting held on Tuesday, to cancel the Ration Card starting from March 2013.
