The Panama papers exposed the corruption and money laundering of Pakistan’s ruling elite and now they have been exposed again after the Broadsheet revelations, says Prime Minister Imran Khan.
In a series of tweets Wednesday morning, the premier spoke about the corruption of the elite in the country and how it stands exposed.
PM Khan said these elites cannot hide behind the “victimisation” card on these international revelations.
He listed down four things the “revelations” exposed repeatedly.
The first, he said, was what he has been saying in his 24-year fight against corruption that it is the biggest threat to Pakistan’s
The second was that the elites come to power and plunder the country and third that they launder money to stash their ill-gotten gains abroad, safe from domestic prosecution.
Lastly, the premier said the elites then use their political clout to get NROs. “That is how they kept their plundered wealth safe. People of Pak are biggest losers,” PM Khan wrote.
