An international civil society organization on Tuesday showed a significant rise in public distrust toward Prime Minister Imran Khan’s administration by releasing an annual index that ranks 180 nations on the basis of people‘s opinion regarding their anti-corruption efforts.

According to Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index 2021, Pakistan dropped 16 spots to 140, compared to 124 a year before that.

CPI ranks countries and territories by perceived levels of public sector corruption according to experts and business people, using a scale of zero to 100, where zero is highly corrupt and 100 is very clean.

“The absence of rule of law and state capture has resulted in substantially low CPI 2021 score of Pakistan compared to CPI 2020,” Justice (r) Nasira Iqbal, vice-chair of Transparency International Pakistan (TIP), said in a statement.

She added there was no change in CPI 2021 scores of India and Bangladesh from CPI 2020.
India and Bangladesh were ranked 85 and 147, respectively, on the index.

While the present Pakistani administration has frequently claimed it is striving to end corruption in the country, Pakistan’s CPI ranking has consistently gone down in the last three years.

In 2019, the country was on 120. The next year it went down to 124 before declining further to 140.

In 2018, during the government of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party, Pakistan was on 117 out of 180 countries.

Reacting to the development, the Pakistani prime minister’s aide on political communication Dr. Shahbaz Gill shared a video by a local news channel which said that it visited Transparency International’s office in Pakistan but was not allowed to enter.
Gill said the managing director of the organization Adil Gilani was appointed as Pakistan’s ambassador to Serbia by the political rival of the present administration and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, adding that the report “should be considered as written by the Sharif family.”

یہ پڑی ہے ساری کی ساری ٹرانپرینسی انٹرنیشنل۔ جب ٹی وی ٹیم وہاں گئی تو آگے سے جواب ملا کہ عادل گیلانی صاحب نے اندر جانے کی اجازت نہیں دی۔

جی یہ وہی عادل گیلانی ہیں جن کو نواز شریف نے سربیا میں سفیر مقرر کیا تھا۔ سو جو عادل گیلانی کی رپورٹ ہے اسے آپ شریف خاندان کی لکھی سمجھیں pic.twitter.com/TcFIwBT976
