The premier further highlighted that the nation benefits when state institutions are allowed to function independently without political interference.
PM Imran Khan termed NAB’s performance during previous governments as ‘dark ages’ due to corrupt leaders which spanned across 10 years.
Furthermore, the prime minister apprised that in 27 months, anti-corruption Punjab recovered Rs 206 billion in contrast to the previous Rs 3 billion during 10 years of previous administrations.
