Fighting Corruption Government's New Year Resolve: Prime Minister

ISLAMABAD -- Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza on Saturday expressed his government's resolve to launch a 'Jehad' against corruption in the new year (2011) by making legislative measures including the approval of accountability law."It is our resolve for the new year, that we will launch 'Jehad' against corruption. I have talked to Mian Sahib (Nawaz Sharif) so that we can adopt the accountability bill with consensus. And it is done in a way that nobody can raise a finger on it," Gilani said in a live question-answer television show aired on Pakistan Television and Dunya Television on Saturday evening. The Prime Minister, however, mentioned the historical facts and said most of the governments in the past including the two tenures each of PPP and PML(N) as well as the Junejo government faced corruption charges and even were removed on such charges.
