Imran explained how he struggled in breaking the stranglehold of elite capture of the state.
“Break the stranglehold of the elite capture of our state & of our nation's resources; & [and] redistribute these resources more equitably in order to lift our poor out of poverty. Ours has been a long & arduous struggle - more than any other political party.”
The prime minister said, “Today I want to remember our founding members who are not with us anymore - Naeemul Haq, Ahsan Rasheed and Saloni Bokhari.”
Separately, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in a video message posted on Facebook said the PTI-led government was determined to build a corruption-free society in the country.
