'Alleged corruption': PML-N's Ayaz Sadiq demands placing entire NAB staff on ECL

Islamabad: Former speaker of the National Assembly and PML-N MNA Sardar Ayaz Sadiq on Wednesday called for placing the entire staff of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) along with its chairman on the Exit Control List (ECL) for their alleged corruption during the PTI-led government.

Talking to reporters in Islamabad, Sadiq accused the accountability watchdog of turning a blind eye to the wrongdoings of the then PTI government and "targeting" their rivals.

Senior PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had on Tuesday also voiced similar sentiments against the NAB and urged his party's newly elected government to dissolve the Bureau and hold its employees accountable.

"NAB was wrong to believe that it could go scot-free for all its 'malpractices'. We were always sure of a nexus between Imran Khan and the NAB, and this connection proved true with time."

He also demanded that an investigation into the extravagant lifestyle and "living beyond means" of all NAB officials should be conducted.
