Demanding resignation from the “corrupt government” on Saturday, Senator Azam Khan Swati formally joined the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf “to put the country out of the prevailing challenges and eliminate corruption”.
Addressing a press conference along with PTI Chairman Imran Khan, Swati said the country could not move forward because of massive corruption. He said he had proof that corruption of Rs 10 billion had been carried in the Waseela-e-Rozgar Programme of the BISP, adding that he would go to the Supreme Court on the issue.
“The HEC has no funds for its scholars but on the other hand, corruption is rampant in the country,” he said. Swati said he had joined the Imran-led “tsunami of revolution” to make the country corruption-free.
Swati criticised the government for its policies, saying “a government which has Wajid Shamsul Hassan and Husain Haqqani as its ambassadors and Salman Farooqi as an adviser, cannot steer the country out of the crises”. He said a sitting minister was in jail on corruption charges which, he added, was a slap on the face of the government. However, he lamented that he could not catch “the corrupt of the corrupt”, referring to the son of Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani. “I demand the corrupt government resign,” he said.
He said from 2000 onwards, he had been declaring his assets, and was a tax payer both in the US and Pakistan.
To a question, PTI chief Imran Khan said he did not force anyone to join the PTI but they were endorsing his programme and joining his party. He welcomed Swati in the party ranks and vowed to put the country on the path of prosperity.
To a question, he endorsed Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President Nawaz Sharif’s move to knock the Supreme Court’s door on the memo issue.

  1. But this guy is clean. He does like to blow his own horn a bit but he isnt corrupt and did a decent job when he was minister including on occasion spending his own money. He also exposed the hajj scandal and lost his ministry as a result.

  2. Another unscrupulous addition. He made wealth through illegal means. He lived abroad and used so many names. I would request Akram Swati all the different names he has been using while living abroad to cover up his crimes.

  3. Imran khan is doing the same as rest of the politican did before. All the corrupt people
    (X politician) joining PTI. This is not good… We need change and this is only possible to bring honest people in their party. All chor, docu, lotaray has became the leader of PTI now So no difference between PTI and rest of Parties.

    I am not the member of any Political party yet…. but honestly PMLN is looking good as compared to rest of Parties…
