Prime Minister Imran Khan has reiterated that he will not compromise on his ‘anti-corruption drive’ and directed the ruling party lawmakers to expose the wrongdoings of the incumbent and past governments.
According to Express News, the premier made these remarks in a meeting with MNAs Riyaz Fatyana and Noor Alam Khan in Islamabad on Thursday, who are members of the National Assembly’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
They briefed the premier on PAC’s performance and added that the committee headed by, opposition MNA Rana Tanveer Hussain, only looked into the audit papers and corruption cases could not be concluded due to the weakness of investigating agencies like NAB and the FIA.

While directing the treasury benches members to ensure their attendance in the PAC meeting, PM Imran said the committee is mandated to protect the taxpayers’ money and eradicate corruption but it has failed to produce effective results.
He urged the MNAs to proactively attend the forum’s meetings and unmask the corrupt practices of past and incumbent government officials.
The premier was of the view that opposition members were trying to cover up irregularities that occurred in their tenures.
“You people have a very important role to play, be more active and play a role in highlighting government initiatives,” the premier was quoted as saying during the meeting.
While calling the MNAs ‘seasoned politicians’, PM Imran asked them to inform him forthwith if “anyone tried to hide any wrongdoing”.
“We will not back down from the policy of eradicating the menace of corruption from the country. Bring whoever is involved in corruption under the law,” he added.
