In another unusual remark, Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has actually declared that his nation is being disparaged for corruption, while America has actually been
accepting kickbacks from Israel freely.
“We are being libelled for taking kickbacks. American political leaders accept kickbacks from Israel freely. If I need to take allurements, I will do it in a backroom someplace,” Asif was heard saying during an interview with Geo TV.

Asif argued that the image of Pakistan has actually been unjustly reviled over corruption, declaring that while Islamabad is continuously implicated of corruption, the United States has actually institutionalised such practices under the guise of political financing.
The Pakistani minister’s declaration comes in the middle of accusations associated with an absence of openness and increasing corruption in Pakistan. Previously in August, Asif declared that over half of Pakistan’s leading diplomats were utilizing black cash to leave for Portugal.
In an X post, he composed that the leading bureaucrats were moving black cash from Pakistan to Portugal. In the post, the defence minister composed that senior bureaucrats were moving black cash out of Pakistan, particularly criticising assistants connected to previous Punjab chief minister Usman Buzdar.
Especially, in June this year, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu dealt with a corruption trial in which President Trump supported him and described it a ‘witch hunt’. The cases submitted in 2019 declared the Israeli leader of bribery, scams and breach of trust.
