The same contrast is there in NAB’s performance. Between 2018-2020 of our govt’s tenure NAB recovered Rs 484 bn in contrast to only Rs 290 bn recovered during 1999 – 2017. When govt doesn’t protect criminals & allows accountability to work without interference, results achieved

He regretted that the performance of the department was dismal in the ten years of PML (N) government. The Prime Minister said state land worth 192 billion rupees have so far been recovered as compared to 2.6 billion rupees worth of state land recovery under the PML (N)’s tenure. Imran Khan said cash recovery in our tenure is 2.35 billion rupees as compared to only 430 million rupees in the ten years of PML (N)’s regime. Imran Khan pointed out that the same contrast is there in the performance of National Accountability Bureau. He said the anti-graft body has recovered 484 billion rupees between 2018-2020 of present government in contrast to only 290 billion rupees recovered between1999-2017.
Imran Khan said results are achieved when government does not protect criminals and allows accountability to work without interference.
