LAHORE: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said changing the corrupt system was a “time taking, but doable challenge” and lambasted the status quo, which he blamed for resisting systemic reformation.
“The status quo doesn’t allow change. It makes them lose their money. How will they make money if they don’t resist change?” Khan said in a speech after he broke ground on apartments for low-income groups here. “This way, a whole [vicious] system is developed in society.”
Khan was referring to the “resistance the government faced from all quarters” in its efforts to introduce automation, which the Prime Minister believes would eliminate corruption.
