Criticism
After the 2014 floods hit Jhang District, politician Imran Khan criticized the mill and an under-construction bridge in Bhawana, claiming in a speech that Sharif group were only constructing the bridge to save their mill not the people. He also claimed that the mill had only paid the farmers 70 percent of the offered price for sugarcane, and that too after one year.{{cite news|title=Khan says poor were left to drown to save Sharif's sugar mill|url=http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2014/09/16/national/khan-says-poor-were-left-to-drown-to-save-sharifs-sugar-mill/|accessdate=8 January 2018|publisher=Pakistan Today (newspaper)|date=September 16, 2014}}
