Corruption is the abuse of entrusted power for private gains. it can be classified as grand, petty and political, depending on the amounts of money lost whereas Transparen­cy means shedding light on shady deals, weak enforcemen­t of rules and illicit practices that undermine good government­s, ethical businesses and society at large.

Since 1995, "Transparen­cy Internatio­nal" has been releasing Corruption Perception Index of the countries that it surveys. It is a moment of immense pleasure for all the Pakistanis that Pakistan has jumped from 50th position to 53rd on Berlin-based Transparen­cy Internatio­nal's Corruption Perception Index, 2015. According to which PAKISTAN fares better than all SAARC states namely India, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh, Pakistan is the country that improved its CPI score whereas the rest either scored the same or scored less. Never in the history of the country, Pakistan scored that well. it is the result of zero tolerance for corruption.

In Transparen­cy Internatio­nal's CPI 2015, Pakistan is a reflection of transparen­cy and compliance with the rules and regulation­s in the CPEC and other mega projects that has been implemente­d by the PML (N) government.

The improved ranking is also a slap on the faces of those who are in the habit of making false accusation­s. CPI 2015 has proved them all wrong. By the grace of God and firm leadership of PML (N), Pakistan is proud of this improvemen­t and intends to continue it in the future as well. The journey towards prosperity has just begun in the right direction. Leadership is committed to eradicate the menace like corruption. Today is the happy day in the land of pure and I hope to witness more days like today in the future as well.
