Mafia using various tactics to pressurize institutions: PM

Prime Minister Imran Khan says Pakistani mafia is using various tactics to pressurize institutions to protect their money-laundering.

In a tweet on Saturday, he said in a similar vein to the "Sicilian mafia," the Pakistani mafia uses tactics of bribe, threat, blackmail and begging to pressurize state institutions and judiciary in order to protect their billions of money-laundering stashed abroad.

In another tweet, the Prime Minister said on Saturday that the poverty of the people is the actual cause of the devastation and ruination of a country.

Quoting the saying of Hazrat Ali (RA) from Nahjul Balagha, he said the main cause of the poverty of the people is the desire of its ruler and officers to amass wealth and possessions whether by fair or foul means.
