Plunderers of nation’s wealth don’t deserve to be spared: PM Imran

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday said those who plundered the wealth of the nation deserve no right to be spared.

Addressing the International Rehmatul-Lil-Alameen (SAW) Conference in Islamabad, the prime minister said no NRO or other relaxations can be given to corrupt people.

“People have said that I should forgive those who have looted the country, but it is not my money that they have looted,” he said.

The premier added, people give money to charity but not pay taxes. “If they don’t give taxes how will the country move forward? Those who plundered the wealth of the nation deserve no right to be spared.”

The prime minister added that compassion is for poor and downtrodden segments of society and not for powerful and corrupt people.

PM Imran further said the state of Medina is a source of inspiration for a progressive society.

“People keep asking me when Naya Pakistan modeled on the state of Medina will be made and I tell them the state of Medina was not made in one day,” he said.
