ISLAMABAD, (DNA) – President Mamnoon Hussain has said that eradication of corruption echoes in the voice of the Pakistani nation and the Government of Pakistan and its institutions are in unison for impartial, transparent and fair accountability in the country. He added the tradition of fulfilling the requirements of justice should be promoted by discouraging practice of hurling blame and accusations without evidence and rule of law should be maintained.

The President said this while addressing a Seminar titled “United against Corruption for a Prosperous Pakistan” organized by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) at the Aiwan-e-Sadr, Islamabad on Friday. Chairman NAB Justice ® Javed Iqbal and President of PILDAT Ahmed Bilal Mehboob also addressed the gathering.

The President emphasized that it is necessary to ensure the rule of law because when the powerful in different segments of the society plunder national resources, the economic, political and social rights of the people are usurped. This weakens the commitment of an ordinary and poor person towards his country and can drive him to commit mistakes in desperation, he added.

The President underlined that in any society crime originates in such situations which gradually destroys the whole social system. Bad habits are hard to find in those societies which are sensitive about morality and try to meet the future requirements by maintaining moral values in upbringing of their new generations, he added.

He highlighted that this secret was revealed to the world after centuries of experiments and efforts. He pointed out that we are fortunate that this is the basis of our religious beliefs, and our ancestors were those who never used official resources for their personal work.
