The SACM reiterated the political thugs will face defeat in the presence of PM Imran Khan and credited the PTI government for not a corruption scandal during the two and a half years of the incumbent government. The PTI has set a new example of transparency and no one could dare of usurpation of resources, she added. The political scions should better recall the days when their daddies set corruption records and huge kickbacks were received. They raised minarets of corruption and every day was started with a new scandal, she regretted. Maulana also used to make hay while the sun shines, she added. On the other hand, the incumbent government has reined in corrupt and the country is moving forward because the trust of the investors has been fully restored, concluded the SACM.
