Pakistan Muslim League-N President Shehbaz Sharif said on Tuesday that corruption was rampant in Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI)’s ‘Naya’ Pakistan, slamming the government over the country’s dismal ranking on Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index (CPI).
The Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly stated that “according to Transparency International, [the] PTI government has broken all records of corruption in the last 20 years”.
Shehbaz highlighted that among the Asia-pacific region, Pakistan has “unfortunately” been ranked as the fifth most corrupt country, deriding PM Imran as the “anti-corruption Muhajid”.
He further stated that during Nawaz’s govt, “corruption decreased despite the massive development,” which he claimed was the result of “transparency, good governance and legal reforms”.
