LAHORE:


Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Khawaja Asif Ahmed claimed on Saturday that the government had ruthlessly looted the national exchequer on the last day of its tenure.


Talking to Express News, the PML-N leader alleged that summaries were approved as quickly as one-minute-per-summary, while many of them were even changed, on Saturday.

Ahmed said his party was keeping an eye on all such sanctions and vowed that, when in power, it would set-up a special tribunal and get all such transactions audited.

He sent out a warning to those bureaucrats who assisted the government in the loot and asked them to should refrain from illegal actions.

The PML-N leader also demanded the Supreme Court and the Election Commission of Pakistan to take notice of the government’s actions.


The PML-N wasn’t the only party to make such allegations.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Information Secretary Shafqat Mehmood also said that the government had been announcing benefits on its last day.

In a statement issued on Saturday, he said that the looting of the national exchequer and facilitating each other continued in Islamabad and provincial capitals the entire day.

Mehmood claimed that many summaries were approved and money was withdrawn with the help of some “favourite” officers. He added that state resources were being stolen and advertisements were being carried out, in violation of rules.

The PTI leader called on the election commission to take immediate action and demanded that houses, cars, protocol and security should be taken back from all former ministers.
