The Broadsheet Inquiry Commission has submitted its findings. The government says that it will take action against all involved
“The apologists of corruption are a dime a dozen. I wonder whether this phenomenon reflects some perverted form of ancient tribalism and moral bankruptcy or such persons are simply standing there with their mouths open, tails wagging hoping for some crumbs from the table.” These are the concluding words of Broadsheet Inquiry Commission Report authored by Justice Sheikh Azmat Saeed (retired) earlier this month.
The findings of the Broadsheet Inquiry Commission have been debated in the media. The report concludes that the concerned departments of the government did not fully cooperate with the commission in its bid to gather incriminating evidence against those responsible for the loss of millions of dollars.
