Federal Minister for SAFRON and Narcotics Control Shehryar Afridi has said that the Pakistan Tehreeek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership believes that nobody is above the law whether the individual belongs to government or opposition there should be across the board accountability. Talking to media persons here after attending inaugural ceremony of three-day National Military Defence Convention at Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Science and Technology on Monday, Shehryar Afridi said that each and every PTI worker, cabinet member and member parliament is answerable before the law, adding that Prime Minister Imran Khan was the first leader who terminated party membership of 20 MPAs during Senate elections on charges of corruption.
He said PTI leader has set the precedent and would leave no stone unturned to make Pakistan a real state like Madina. The economic situation has been improved in the country due to pragmatic measures by the government and within next few months the people would get relief from prices hike and inflation. Referring to National Accountability Bureau (NAB), the Federal Minister for SAFRON said the bureau is an independent institution of the state and Nawaz Sharif should have to face the corruption charges.
He said that PTI government has allocated Rs 220 billion for Ehsas program and Rs 6 billion for Utility Stores to provide relief to masses especially poor class. As per the directives of Prime Minister Imran Khan measures are being taken to provide maximum relief to poor people of the country, Afridi added.
