HYDERABAD: Former chief justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry has urged people to reject corrupt politicians in the upcoming general elections.
Speaking at a reception hosted by the Hyderabad District Bar Association on Saturday, Chaudhry warned that if the door is not closed on corrupt political leadership, the country will not progress and the poor will keep suffering.
