KARACHI: Central Secretary Information, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Fouzia Wahab on Thursday strongly criticising a recent report of Transparency International Pakistan (TIP) about corruption in Pakistan has said the report is against our national interests.
Addressing a press conference at the Karachi Press Club, Fouzia Wahab said the objective of the TIP's report about corruption in Pakistan is to influence the public opinion.
She said the issuance of Transparency's report at such a time, when the meetings of Friends of Pakistan (FOP) are underway, is not only against the government, but it is also against the country and our national interests.
Rejecting the TIP report's alleged findings with regard to lack of accountability laws in the country, Fouzia Wahab noted that Pakistan is a functional state, where the departments are intact and the anti-corruption departments and Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) are also working.
She said we welcome the criticism but the people have given us their votes and we have to protect their rights.
The PPP leader raised a question as to why such a report had not been published in the past and its issuance at the time of the meetings of Friends of Democratic Pakistan (FoDP) is animosity with the country.
She also raised questions about the credibility as well as the aims of the patrons and financers of Transparency International.
She said the TIP's report about corruption in Pakistan is published simultaneously from New York and Islamabad with intentions against the country.
