The speakers said that the corruption had become rampant and pervaded to all segments of the society making the life harder to live for those who wanted a life free of corruption evading the corrupt means of earning.
They said that by adopting austerity and simple life, the menace of corruption can be brought to its minimum level and this menace can be weeded out from the society by creating mass awareness making them to abhor it in any form and degree.
They asked the people to start taking anti-corruption measures right from their homes and give the right message to the new generation that the future of the country is closely related with corruption free Pakistan.
