IN his speech at the Mayo hospital the Punjab Chief Minister complained NAB did not appreciate the billions of rupees saved by the PML-N, and only pursues corruption cases.

Let us note that prosecuting corruption cases is NAB’s duty and working efficiently to save tax-payers money is the government’s (currently PML-N) duty.

Saving billions does not off-set the siphoning off of public money into private accounts.

Once he grasps these basics, his bewilderment, and that of his elder brother, may abate.
