 He said that it was time to rise against corrupt elite and once the process of accountability started, Pakistan would be cleansed of the menace of corruption. 

 Meanwhile, spokesperson of PTI North Punjab Sajid Ali Qureshi said that if the rulers were committed to elimination of corruption, then why they had not written to the Swiss authorities for bringing back looted wealth of Pakistanis stashed there and why the prime minister did not present himself for accountability.
