The enablers of corruption must also be held accountable, says the prime minister.
The prime minister says his government came with a robust public mandate to get ride of this menace from the country. “But what is needed is international cooperation to bring perpetrators of financial crimes to justice,” he added.
The PM then proposed 7 steps the international community can take:
1. The stolen asests of developing countries must be returned 2. Authorities in havens must impose criminal and financial penalties 3. The enablers must be held accountable
4. Beneficial owners of foriegn companies be revealed upon inquiry 5. Multinational companies must not be allowed profit shifting to avoid taxation 6. Revenue from digital transactions should be taxed where revenues are generated 7. Unequal investment treaties must be discarded

پنجاب حکومت آج پنجاب عوامی آگاہی اور معلومات کے فروغ کا 2025 کا ایکٹ پیش کرنے اور منظور کروانے جا رہی ہے۔
اس ایکٹ کا بنیادی مقصد صحافیوں اور شہریوں کو یہ سوال کرنے سے روکنا ہے جس سے یہ معلوم ہو سکے کہ کس طرح حکومت عوامی فنڈز کو اپنی تشہیر کے لیے استعمال کر رہی ہے۔
تھریڈ:
منظور ہونے کے بعد اس ایکٹ کا اطلاق رواں سال کے بجائے گذشتہ سال جنوری 2024 سے ہوگا، یعنی الیکشن سے قبل موجود نگراں حکومت کے دور سے۔
اس کے تحت پنجاب حکومت "عوامی آگاہی مہمات" چلا سکے گی جس کے لیے وہ کسی بھی تشہیری کمپنی کو استعمال کر سکتی ہے اور کسی بھی پلیٹ فارم پر چلا سکتی ہے جیسے بل بورڈز، ٹی وی، پرنٹ، ریڈیو، ڈیجیٹل اور سنیما۔
Here are just a few examples of senior government officials spreading misinformation—yet, these are the same people who will be 'regulating fake news'.

Fact-check: Mohsin Naqvi's claim of 30% crime reduction in Punjab found to be false.
A short thread on the recent developments regarding the military-run corporate agricultural farming project: 🧵
Over the past few months, government ministers have repeatedly claimed that the state land being leased to a military-run private company for corporate agricultural farming is barren and will be developed to address Pakistan’s food security challenges.
However, as shown in this fact check, the land being allocated by the Punjab government for corporate farming in Arifwala is fertile, not barren.
A recent tussle in Pakpattan between Punjab govt and farmers over state land being handed over for the army’s corporate farming raises a key question:
How much of the 4.8 million acres earmarked for corporate farming by SIFC is actually “barren”?
🧵
Farmers in Pakpattan are challenging the Punjab govt's transfer of state land to an army-led corporate farming initiative, according to Lahore High Court documents.
Petitioners argue that they and their families have been cultivating the land for the state since 1928.
Yet, in Dec 2023, the caretaker Punjab govt allocated this land to a military-run private company for corporate farming.
