PM Imran lambasts opposition for sabotaging efforts to exit FATF grey list

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan said that today in Senate the opposition has defeated two critical Financial Action Task Force (FATF) related bills, Anti Money Laundering and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) Waqf bills.

He said as accountability noose has tightened, opposition tries to hide behind facade of democracy to protect their loot and plunder.

Imran Khan on twitter said that from day one I have maintained that the self-serving interests of the opposition leaders and the country s interests are divergent.

He further said, to blackmail for NRO by defanging NAB, they would even have Pakistan put on FATF black list to destroy nation s economy and increase poverty. They keep threatening to bring down government unless given NRO.

“Let me make clear no matter what happens, my government will not allow any NRO as it would be betrayal of nation s trust in holding plunderers of public wealth accountable”, said PM

Imran said that Musharraf gave NROs to the two political leaders which quadrupled Pakistan’s debt and destroyed economy, there will be no more NROs, he added.
