Musharraf government most corrupt in South Asia: PML-N

04 Aug, 2006

The government of General Pervez Musharraf ranks as the most corrupt in South Asia when its corruption scandals are compared to those in Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Nepal over a seven year period, the PML-N said on Thursday.
Just the stock exchange scandal, in which an estimated 5.83 billion dollars of the public were manipulated and looted by the mafias in collusion with the military regime, ranks as a bigger scandal than the Bofors scandal under Rajiv Gandhi in India, a PML-N press release said.
It said that apart from the magnitude of corruption by the regime there also emerges a disturbing pattern of precision planning by it to systematically loot the nation's wealth.
