Minister blames former rulers for weakening system.

SWABI -- Provincial Minister for Local Government Shahram Khan Tarakai said here Thursday that corrupt practices of former rulers had badly damaged the country's institutions and weakened the system.

Addressing a gathering in Razaar tehsil of Swabi district, he said that during the last seven decades, the rulers had focused only on accumulation of wealth and failed to work for strengthening the institutions.

'The PTI government would not allow corrupt practices and would continue to eradicate this menace from the society,' he said. He added that Prime Minister Imran Khan had made it clear that corrupt persons would face the law of the land.

The minister said that government was striving to control the prices of essential commodities and the economic situation would be improved soon.

He said that PTI assumed power at a very difficult time and PML-N made all out efforts to create hurdles to it.

He admitted that people faced problems in getting jobs in the public sector institutions but said that government was offering employments to educated youth.
