There are many names in the Pakistan's political history who devoted their life and everything to this country and its people. They include such as Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Allama Iqbal and Nawabzada Liaqat Ali Khan and Zulifqar Ali Bhutto just to name a few. 

Bu there are the ones who harmed the insterests of Pakistan in any way they can. In this post I am going to list those  politicians who are considered the most corrupt  politicians of Pakistan

1.Asif Ali Zardari

Unfortuantely, Asif Zardari is currently the Preseident of Pakistan. He is the co-chairperson of Pakistan People's Party. Since his party i.e PPP has come into power, Pakistan has lost a huge amount more than Rs 8.5 trillion ($94 billion) in corruption, tax evasion, bad governance during the last four years. He is called "Mr 10 Percent" for his corruption that he did in over two decades. He had also been arrested in  on corruption charges, extortion and kidnapping in 90's. Systematic corruption is prevalent from top to bottom in the government of Asif Ali Zardai.

2.Yusuf Raza Gilani

This man is student of Asif Ali Zardari.  Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Yusuf Raza left no stone unturned to accumulate wealth for his sons Musa and Abdul Qadir Gilani ( they are also involved in a scandal) . He used to wear 15 lac worth of suits and coats in his incompetent premiership and proudly acknowledged that these coats and suits have been gifted to him by his friends. Supreme Court of Pakistan disqualified Yusuf Raza Gilani on charges of contempt. He denied writing a letter to Swiss authorites to reopen graft cases against Asif Zardari.

3.Nawaz Sharif

Head of Pakistan Muslim League (N) party, Nawaz Sharif is former premier of Pakistan. He is alleged to have been involved in money laundering and corruption in his tenure. He took billions of rupees loans from National and commercials banks of  Pakistan and never repaid the loans. 

4.Shahbaz Sharif

Shahbaz Sharif is presently chief minister of Punjab province. He is the younger brother of Nawaz Sharif. Sharif was involved in  failed "Sasti Roti" and yellow cabs schemes for which billion of rupees were wasted and no relief was passed on to poor people of Punjab. Both the brothers  never pay the taxes while they are the owner of biggest mills and factories of Punjab.


5.Pervaiz Musharraf

Pervaiz Musharraf is the former President of Pakistan. Though he took many steps to bring stability to Pakistan's economy but his presidency was marred with many corruption scandals . One of them related to PSMC (Pakistan Steel Mill)  He and his government were involved in the privatization of Pakistan Steel Mill Corporation from which they extorted money for their own interest .
