On Sunday, Professor Ahsan Iqbal, Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives, denounced what he called “regrettable and shameful” attempts by PTI supporters to defend their leader Imran Khan, despite the fact that he was found guilty and proven corrupt in the £190 million graft case.
The minister stated in a statement that the PTI founder used the “corruption card” as the foundation of his entire campaign and enticed people to support him by promising accountability and transparency.
As he added, “The duplicity and hypocrisy of PTI are laid bare as they defend a leader who, rather than confronting the grave breach of trust, resorts to religious or anti-establishment narratives to deflect criticism.” He expressed regret that PTI supporters had ignored Imran Khan’s corrupt actions.
