Warning against repeating ‘mistakes of the past’, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) senior leader Senate Chairman Mian Raza Rabbani earlier today called for even-handed and across the board accountability.
“The institution which is carrying out accountability of the whole country—who will hold them accountable?” asked the senator while speaking at an event in Karachi.
“I accept that politicians and political workers committed corruption…I do not defend them. But if the politicians are corrupt, the rest of the country is not clean either. The civilian and military bureaucracy is not clean either,” he said.
He said that there should be no “sacred cows or holy cows”, and that everyone should be accountable.
“It is no longer possible that special courts are formed for those with political ideologies. Special courts should be formed – I will stand by them – but accountability should be for all and across the board,” he said.
