The Kissan Board Pakistan (KBP) will soon announce a movement against corruption after consultation between office-bearers of all the four provincial organizations of the Board. The Board also announced to fully participate in "Corruption Free Pakistan" campaign of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan.
KBP central president Chaudhry Nisar Ahmad and Secretary General Chaudhry Shaukat Ali Chaddhar disclosed this while talking to media persons in Mansoora auditorium here on Thursday after a meeting of the General Council members of the Board from all over Pakistan. Some new office-bearers of the Board took oath of their offices on this occasion.
