The CMD head said that no one could accuse Imran Khan of corruption when he had dedicated his life to the fight against corruption.
“The relentless pursuit of the Panama Papers and kicking out more than a dozen MPA’s from the government risking his party’s government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are the instances which show his commitment to a corruption free Pakistan,” Iftikhar Durrani pointed out.
Durrani said that Gharida Farooqi must withdraw her insulting allegations and tender unconditional apology immediately.
