Islamabad: Taking a cue from Anna Hazare, a 68-year-old Pakistani businessman is set to go on hunger strike in Islamabad from September 12 to declare war on endemic corruption in his country.
Expressing his admiration for Hazare, Jehangir Akhtar complained that corruption was a far more serious disease in Pakistan.
Activist Akhtar wants the Pakistan parliament to pass an anti-corruption law — like what India is now planning.
“I demand that an anti-corruption bill be presented in the National Assembly,” said Akhtar, who has closely followed the anti-corruption war in India.
He said the Pakistani bill should be on the lines of what gets passed in India’s parliament.
