  • Comments Off on QWP concerned at growing incidence of corruption
Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) Chairman Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao on Thursday expressed concerns over the International's Corruption Perception Index report showing massive corruption in the country and asked the government to formulate effective laws to stem the tide of this evil.

Speaking to a public gathering here at Sardheri area of district Charsadda, where Mian Muhammad Asif Jan Kakakhel along with dozens of families joined QWP, he said the country had fallen nine points from 42nd most corrupt country to 33rd. "This menace is further spreading its tentacles in our society and, therefore, the government must take the political parties on board to work out a proper plan to contain it," he said.

He said the foreign investors were hesitant to invest in Pakistan due to rampant corruption that had destroyed the already nose-diving economy of the country. "The inflation entered its double digit and unemployment, insecurity, economic and political instability in the country are the outcome of the flawed policies being adopted by the government," he said.
