KARACHI: In an embarrassing slip of the tongue, Sindh Minister of Jail Manzoor Wassan stated that govt was doing “all the corruption it could” in the province, DawnNews reported.

The minister made the gaffe while addressing the Sindh Assembly on Wednesday, which caused the house to burst in laughter at the statement.

Wassan then corrected himself while Speaker Agha Siraj Durrani, amused at the mistake himself, came to the minister’s defence, stating that it was mistake.

The speaker said that Wassan meant the govt was doing all it could “to finish corruption”.

Opposition members jested that the minister actually spoke the truth and that he didn’t make a mistake.

Wassan has been known to make gaffe’s in the past along with making ‘predictions’ over political development in the country, based on dreams that he had the night before.
