Sindh government is creating obstacles, former rulers promoted corruption in the country, corruption was not a problem for them, opposition parties are blackmailing the government to get NRO but Prime Minister Imran Khan They stand firm and are committed to recovering the national wealth looted from corrupt elements.
Speaking on a program on a private TV channel, Farrukh Habib said that the process of accountability is not controversial, basically accountability has not taken place in this country at all. They used to appoint chairmen of their choice, these people used to make and close cases against each other, Hudabia Paper Mill never ran on merit, if Nawaz Sharif took NRO from Musharraf then برا 27 million to national exchequer in broadsheet case. Had to suffer
Farrukh Habib said that previous governments had clashed with each other. He did not take any steps to curb corruption during his tenure but Prime Minister Imran Khan is taking steps to eradicate the scourge of corruption from the country. In the past, NAB has never laid hands on powerful people. Has recovered Rs.500 billion from corrupt elements, similarly Anti-Corruption Punjab has recovered zero during PML-N era while it has recovered Rs.450 billion under the present government.
He said that there are serious cases of corruption against the Sharif family, many have been proved and some are yet to be proved. The governments of Pakistan have not entered into any agreement with other countries on the return of illicit wealth and extradition of criminals, but the current government is working on it, Prime Minister Imran Khan said in his address to the UN General Assembly. Money is stolen and taken to developed countries. This should be stopped. The UK has also started cracking down on it and it has frozen the assets of many people and banned them from entering the country. Nawaz Sharif’s case will also be a test case for him but the present government will take it up at every forum.
