The prime minister said mafias were sitting everywhere which considered themselves above the law. The mafias wanted preferential treatment to evade the law, he added.
He said the sugar mafia increased sugar price, earned money and avoided paying taxes and now they wanted that cases should not be framed against them.
He said caring for the poor and ensuring rule of law was in line with Islam’s first welfare State of Medina where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) brought a revolution for the mankind. Mr Khan said no nation could prosper if it neglected its weaker segments and failed to ensure rule of law.
