Corruption is a serious threat to national security: P K Mishra
“Since liberalisation in India, the nature of corruption has become more complex. With technological development, there are opportunities to prevent corruption but also areas where corruption can be much more difficult to trace, particularly in fields like cryptocurrency,” he said.
PK Mishra, Principal Secretary to the PM, at an event to mark International Anti-Corruption Day, in New Delhi on Friday. PTI Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister, P K Mishra, said Friday that corruption encourages dysfunctionality in government, perpetrates economic inefficiency and can be a serious threat to national security.
Delivering the keynote address at the International Anti-Corruption Day-2022, organised by the CBI on ‘Anti-Corruption efforts – A sine qua non for Development and Security’, Mishra said the impact of corruption is especially heavy on common citizens, and even more on poorer and vulnerable persons in communities.
