The difference in anti corruption dept Punjab's performance during PTI govt & PMLN's 10 yrs is clearly visible in the results achieved so far. In the last 31 mths of our govt in Punjab anti corruption recovered Rs 220 bn, in contrast to dismal record of PMLN govt's 10 yrs.

PM Imran said that the state land worth Rs192 billion have so far been recovered as compared to Rs2.6 billion worth of state land recovery under the PML-N's tenure.
“Cash recovery in our tenure is Rs2.35 billion as compared to only Rs430 million in the 10 years of PML-N's regime,” the premier said.
Prime Minister Imran Khan pointed out that the same contrast is there in the performance of NAB.
He said the anti-graft body recovered Rs484 billion between 2018 and 2020 under the PTI government in contrast to only Rs290 billion recovered between 1999-2017.
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
