Durrani accuses PPP leadership of massive corruption

25 Aug, 2006

Federal Information Minister Muhammad Ali Durrani has said the courts of London and Switzerland are sufficient to prove that PPP leadership has been involved in massive corruption and bungling and possessed undeclared assets worth billions of dollars.
In an interview with a private TV channel, he said the leaders staying abroad are spending billions of rupees in their political meeting wherein at least Rs 8,000 or more is being paid per head for a feast being regularly hosted by them.
He said that Benazir Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari kept denying for a decades that they had nothing to do with the Surrey Palace, but ultimately it was found that they own it.
Durrani said these people demand of the government to tender resignation after the Supreme Court judgement in the Steel Mills case instead of acknowledging the fact that the honour and respect the present government extended to the judiciary was beyond imagination during their term in power.
The minister said that as far as the matter of Steel Mill is concerned there exists another opportunity for the government to prove it in the review petition that they might file against the order of the Supreme Court. Durrani said the Opposition has no strength at all to challenge the leadership of Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz through a no- confidence motion and it would be badly failed.
