PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif has said that there was a significant decline in corruption in Pakistan when Nawaz Sharif assumed the role of prime minister in 2013.
Addressing a rally in Gujranwala, Shehbaz referenced statistics from the Transparency International Corruption Index, stating, “Nawaz improved Pakistan’s rankings from 141 to 117.”
He continued by questioning the performance of the current government, saying, “Then a government came in and foul-mouthed its rivals. But I ask you all, has he [Imran Khan] built any houses in his four years in power?”
“When Nawaz was in power, infrastructure projects spanned across Pakistan, including roads and dams, and the youth were provided with laptops,” he asserted, adding that if given the opportunity to be in power again, he would reinitiate those schemes.
