ISLAMABAD: Minister of Science and Technology, Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Thursday said that the leaders of Pakistan Peoples Party and Pakistan Muslim League-N, facing jail due to corruption and money laundering charges were demanding special treatment and facilities there.

The Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI), government under the leadership of Imran Khan, had clear mandate and vision to plug out the roots of corruption from the society.
