ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that his government will not allow any NRO as it would be betrayal of nation's trust in holding plunderers of public wealth accountable. In a tweet on Tuesday, he said: "Former president Pervez Musharraf had given NROs to the two political leaders which quadrupled our debt and destroyed economy. There will be no more NROs." The prime minister said that today in the Senate the opposition defeated two critical FATF-related bills – Anti Money Laundering and ICT Waqf. From day one, I have maintained that the self-serving interests of the opposition leaders and the country's interests are divergent. https://twitter.com/ImranKhanPTI/status/1298300719104167948?s=20 "As accountability noose has tightened, the opposition tries to hide behind facade of democracy to protect their loot and plunder. To blackmail for NRO by defanging the NAB, they would even have Pakistan put on FATF black list to destroy nation's economy and increase poverty. They keep threatening to bring down government unless given the NRO," he said. https://twitter.com/ImranKhanPTI/status/1298300724544188416?s=20
