The active participation of the local representatives was necessary to wipe out the corruption from the society, he added.

He said, “People must differentiate among the truth and lie, politics of blame and reconciliation and those who do politics of corruption.”

Those who believe that politics only for corruption and unfair means are poison for politics and democracy, he added.

Commenting on the performance of previous governments, he said that not a single development work had been carried out to address the problem of the masses and leaving numbers of crisis for the government of the PML-N.
