Dr. Malik warned that those raising hue and cry will also be held accountable after an inquiry against him.

“I will then lead an inquiry commission to investigate opposition’s corruption,” he said. “I have decided to name all those who sold out Reko Diq and Gwadar lands, and got the oil city registered in their name.”
