i was asking about the charges themselves. but let me put this to you. it s very difficult for those of us outside of pakistan to adjudicate who is right, who is wrong, who is corrupt, who is in corrupt because everyone in pakistan is accused of each other of corruption and corruption is rampant. you yourself had to resign from the government a few years ago over corruption accusations that i know you denied. your leader, the former prime minister, got arrested for corruption. his predecessor was convicted for corruption. the current prime minister was indicted for money laundering which he was eventually cleared of. isn t ripened bipartisan corruption the real issue here? well it is a real issue and we are the only party in pakistan that has that as their political ethos and our entire party election campaign and imran khan s 27 year old struggle in politics is all anti-corruption.
