Prime Minister Imran Khan has said the powerful do not want the rule of law to prevail and resort to forming Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM)-type alliances in order to escape accountability and justice.
“The society, which does not look after the weaker segments, never progresses. The condition of the weaker segments in a society shows its true worth,” the premier said on Wednesday while addressing the foundation-stone laying ceremony of a low cost housing scheme in Jalozai area of Nowshera.
