*LONDON - President Mamnoon Hussain has taken a shot at former PM Nawaz Sharif when he said that corrupt people are arrested as a result of divine law.*

*He called for taking action against corruption and accountability of corrupt people in Pakistan.*

The President Mamnoon who arrived here told a group of Pakistani media persons at the airport that he was in favour of holding accountability of corrupt people in the country.

“It’s the divine law that whenever somebody is involved in corruption, he is sooner or later definitely apprehended after investigation for his crime”, he said.
