Dubbing Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif "daddy" of sugar mafia, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz on Thursday said that the government would take the case to its logical end at all costs.
Talking to reporters here, he said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led government believed in corruption-free Pakistan, adding that after sugar, Prime Minister Imran Khan would expose more mafias.
He said that PM Khan was committed to uproot the menace of corruption from the country.
The minister said that Sharif family wanted to destroy the country's economy.
He assailed the Sharif family saying the entire nation knew that it was the ringleader of the sugar mafia in the country.
"They used politics for business as greed for wealth remained the central plank of their politics," he had said, alleging that they mercilessly used national institutions for personal gains. Shibli Faraz had said Prime Minister Imran Khan's politics was for the rights of the poor, while the "Sharif mafia" always exploited public.
He called upon the masses to follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) to curb spread of the coronavirus and run the country's economy.
The minister said that the government had taken all-out measures to deal with the corona crisis. He maintained that the country would soon come out of the difficult period under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
"Our strategy to deal with the coronavirus is in the right direction as the government has managed COVID-19 in an organized manner," he added.
He said that the government was reviewing the situation emerging out of the coronavirus on a daily basis and undertaking all out steps to tackle it effectively. He also said that the government was taking all possible measures to eliminate locusts. "A national locust control cell is also being set up in this regard," he said.
