Pakistan Interior Minister Alleges Major Corruption Scandal Amid Government TensionsPreviousNext

Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi has alleged the existence of the country's largest corruption scandal, involving judges, politicians, bureaucrats, and bankers over 21 years. While he did not name individuals, Naqvi emphasized that all responsible parties would face legal action. His remarks have intensified speculation about tensions within Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's government, especially amid reports of a rift between Naqvi and the Prime Minister. Naqvi is also noted for his close ties to Army Chief General Asim Munir.
