Unimaginable devastation caused by unprecedented floods in most parts of Pakistan along with over 1,500 deaths has not been able to change the selfish mindset of the country’s political parties. 

After the Election Commission of Pakistan’s verdict that Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) party had received foreign funding, the current 11-party Shehbaz Sharif government has moved the poll body to seek its arch-rival Khan’s disqualification from politics.

In the political battleground for Pakistan’s most populous province Punjab, things are heating up.

Corruption in Pakistan is rising by leaps and bounds, mainly because of the absence of a deterrent accountability system. Nothing happens unless the relevant palms are greased.
