Just days after our beloved prime minister said that he would be more dangerous in the opposition if he is removed from power, Transparency International (TI) has reported that corruption has increased in Pakistan. The country has fallen 16 spots in the Corruption Perception Index since the year before. Since 2018, Pakistan has slipped down by 23 spots.
Most PTI voters will now claim that Nawaz Sharif could well be behind this latest propaganda, or that he has paid TI to say it. One would like to say to Imran Khan: 'Aap nay ghabrana nahin hai' (you must not panic), as even today forty countries are more corrupt than Pakistan.
