Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Monday that nations are ruined when a prime minister and his ministers start indulging in corrupt practices. This and more in our weekly news report from Pakistan’s Punjab province.


Addressing a conference in Islamabad on Monday, Mr Khan said the country was ruined by the theft of prime minister and ministers.

Slamming the leaders who commit corruption of billions of rupees, he said it was a common practice in the developing countries, where those in power get away with an NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance), while those who are poor languish in jails.
