ISLAMABAD: Ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) on Sunday “vowed to face all mafias and their rhetoric and reaction” during the “process of their accountability”.
A meeting of the PTI’s core committee chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan decided to face reaction of the Jehangir Khan Tareen (JKT) group as it was decided that no NRO-like concession would be granted to any group involved in the sugar scam.
When he was contacted, federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said the meeting did not mention Mr Tareen or his group by name but voted that anyone involved in corruption would have to face the law.
