Prime Minister needs to get rid of more useless people if he is to survive the next election.

So imran khan realized now that there have been no accountability? Lolz

Have heard that Janaab e Advisor to the PM was himself involved in financial corruption. Made some extremey weak cases for prosecution in the accountability courts, NAB becharee kiya kartee phir?

Rumors aside --- the government dragged its feet on some of the big corruption cases that he brought, e.g., against the hoarding and price manipulation by the sugar cartel. The PTI realized that JT alone could sink them, and this man was left running from pillar to post to try and push for prosecution. The government even removed the honest FIA officer (grade 17 or 18, I believe) who was valiantly carrying out the sugar commission investigation and had refused billions and bribes and braved threats. Koi haal nahi hai is mulq ka.

Not saying this man was a saint. Maybe he was corrupt too. But the above made it very difficult for him (or anyone) to serve in an accountability czar role.
