Prosperous countries have strong institutions: Imran
PTI chief Imran Khan said that the “thieves” had come into power because of their “handlers”.
“There is murder of morality in this country,” he said, adding that such things don’t occur in civilised countries.
“These thieves have only one other achievement apart from their corruption, they managed to slowly finish their cases,” he said, adding that they had wreaked havoc in the country.
He went on to say that a country is unable to prosper when it forgets its morals.
