Country on the verge of disaster, says Shahbaz

Shahbaz said lust for wealth and loot and plunder of the ‘Qabza Mafia’ in Islamabad had destroyed the national economy and besides nepotism and plunder, adding that a new scandal of corruption was coming to the limelight almost daily, but the rulers remain unmoved. He said it was the need of the hour that the thieves and plunderers were held accountable and looted money recovered and an example be made out of them so that nobody could dare loot the hard-earned money of the people and national resources in the future.
