ISLAMABAD: Information and Broadcasting Minister Fawad Chaudhry said Monday corruption and money laundering are major issues faced by countries like Pakistan.
Taking to Twitter, the minister said a massive leak from a Swiss bank has emerged following the Panama and Pandora papers. He added, “Prime Minister Imran Khan has continuously been raising voice over the issue, calling on the rich countries to stop this exploitation of the poor countries.”
Indirectly referring to opposition leaders’ recent huddles, Fawad said all “money launderers” are now teaming up against the PTI government.
