“We have a firm belief on the supremacy of the Constitution and law. Neither we will create hurdles to the accountability process nor allow anyone else to interrupt it,” vowed PM Khan.
During the meeting, Babar Awan said, “Opposition is utilising its energy to protect themselves from facing accountability despite lack of street power and public support.”
Awan was of the view that the corruption on grass root level will be eliminated if strict action is taken against ‘bigger thieves’ in the country.
“Whole nation is waiting for ruthless accountability and justice. We are hoping for bringing all proclaimed offenders and wanted criminals to the justice,” he added.
Earlier on May 17, Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan had met PTI leader Babar Awan to exchange ideas and seek counsel on constitutional, political and lawful quandaries.
