MULTAN: There is a need to initiate a Zarb-e-Azb like operation against the corruption mafia to root out corruption from the society. Corruption is a curse which is destroying the economy and justice system of Pakistan.

This was said by Punjab Governor Malik Muhammad Rafiq Rajwana while addressing a seminar organised by the National Accountability Bureau on ‘Corruption Preventive Measures’. The event was held at Multan Arts Council on Sunday. Multan NAB Director-General Atiqur Rehman, Commissioner Bilal Butt and other officials were present on the occasion.
