PM said elementary reports about involvement of ministers in corruption have been received and inquiry has been ordered into corruption charges. He will sack corrupt ministers if the allegations are proved against them.
He said “ I have 22 –years long struggle against the corruption and I will not compromise over it.
This disclosure stunned the participants of the meeting.
On the other hand information minister Fawad Chaudhry has said no inquiry is being conducted against any federal minister on corruption charges.
In his message on twitter he said that PM Imran Khan has not talked of any inquiry against any minister on corruption charges in cabinet meeting. Imran Khan had insisted on not committing corruption saying corruption of any kind is not acceptable.
He said such reports are baseless and false. Without ascertaining government stance, publication of such reports by news paper is immoral.
