The PTI leader also hailed the services of Chaudhry Sarwar for the party and termed him an asset to the party.

accountability: Former governor and PTI leader Ch Muhammad Sarwar has said commission and corruption culture in Pakistan should be vindicated instead of exacerbation in respective culture.

Pakistan needs free and fair accountability instead of putting obstacles in the way and the Supreme Court decision of hearing Panama Leaks Case daily is welcome decision, said Sarwar in a statement on Thursday.

Sarwar said without any subsequent doubt, it is evident that Pakistan can't move ahead without the establishment of fair system of reward and punishment.

Free and fair accountability should be enacted otherwise the country will face horrific consequences, he added.

Pakistan Tehreek Insaf has always upheld the truth and sacrifice will not be abstained or avoided for ideological and principle battle, Sarwar said.
