THERE has been a lot of debate about the recent release and departure of Nawaz Sharif to London. Talk shows full of arguments and discussions are being televised and participants from both sides have given their points of view.

So much so that some of the anchors have gone to crowded places in different cities to seek public opinion whether the decision to release him was right.

What remains a mystery is that despite of 1,000 or so speeches and statements made by Prime Minister Imran Khan to uphold the accountability process, his performance has been substandard.

He has not been able to recover any money from such corrupt politicians. Sending these culprits behind the bars was an act of National Accountability Bureau and not PM Imran Khan’s government.

It’s time for PM Imran Khan accepted defeat. He certainly cannot control and beat the mafia.

He has yet to learn the real political system in play and more so yet to visualise the power of money — which sometimes seems to be the strongest element in the world!
