Former prime minister Imran Khan has said that the country’s current problems are not due to a lack of resources but no rule of law since the beginning.

He particularly hit out at the Sharif and Zardari families and accused them of making decisions and key appointments in their favour instead of the national interest.

Imran said prosperous societies had a rule of law while developing countries were afflicted by no regard for the law which explained their problems.
