PM Imran Khan reacts to a leaked video alleging PTI MNA taking bribes for Senate Elections.
An old video from 2018 has surfaced on social media featuring PTI lawmakers allegedly receiving bribes before the Senate elections.
Reacting to the video clip, PM Imran Khan in a Tweet said, “The videos showing the shameful way in which politicians buy & sell votes in Senate reflects the total destruction of the nation’s morality by successive ruling elites as they drowned the nation in debt. Cycle of corruption & money laundering is a sordid tale of our pol elite.”
“They spend money to come to power & then use this pol power to make money to purchase bureaucrats, media & other decision-makers to consolidate their power & rob nation’s wealth – money laundering it into offshore accts/ foreign assets/palatial residences abroad,” he added.
“This is what the PDM cabal wants to now protect by supporting a corruption-friendly system. We are determined to stop this cycle of corruption & money laundering that is debilitating the nation,” PM concluded.

How has this video suddenly appeared after almost three years? Who made it? And why was this man made KP law minister if Imran Khan knew about it? (Clip via @HoorainPervaiz) https://t.co/XXEEPtt1m9

Also feel that PTI’s position regarding amending the Election’s Act 2017 is correct, albeit not through an Ordinance. The Elections Act is a special law which deals with the issue of Senate polls;a constitutional amendment may be an overkill.
