Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday said that he would not compromise on his anti-corruption drive and show no leniency in such matters. He asked them to play their constitutional role in curbing corruption and enhancing the overall capacity of the highest accountability forum of parliament – PAC. Though his gambit depends more on the economic progress, the prime minister told the PAC members that they should play a better role for across-the-board accountability. “We told the prime minister that we only see corruption and not parties while discussing audit paras at the PAC,” a PTI lawmaker said. Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mahmood Khan, Prime Minister Azad Jammu and Kashmir Sardar Abdul Qayyum Khan Niazi joined the meeting via video-link.
