Imran urges Pakistani diaspora to help boosting country’s economy

TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has urged the Pakistani diaspora to emulate overseas Indians and Chinese who have invested heavily in their motherland while assuring them a corruption-free environment to boost the cash-strapped country’s economy.

Addressing a ceremony in Islamabad to mark the Anti-corruption Day, Imran Khan said that Pakistan was facing an existential threat due to rampant corruption. “The money that we had to spend on the education of youth, research and higher education, has been spent to make palaces across the seas and fill hefty bank accounts,” Imran Khan said.

Imran Khan lamented that Pakistani people were unaware of the dire consequences corruption could have on their lives. “People don’t understand the relation between corruption and their lives corruption badly affects them,” Imran Khan said.
