In an interview with a private television channel programme, he said the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI), leadership had set precedent and public report regarding assets of special assistants and advisor to prime minister.
He said that Pakistan People’s Party and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, never bothered to formulate a commission on sugar crisis during their era of running affairs of state. Appreciating PTI leadership, he said Prime Minister Imran Khan had made unprecedented work and disclosed the report about sugar mafia before nation.
He said that PTI government came into power after heavy mandate of people of Pakistan. He added that elimination of corruption and identifying the corrupt elements was the manifesto of the PTI. Commenting on Opposition ‘hue and cry’ over non-issues, he said that Imran Khan would never grant national reconciliation ordinance (NRO) to leaders of previous regime found involved in corruption and plundering national money.
He said that process of accountability under the dynamic vision of Imran Khan would continue in the country in a transparent and fair manner.
