Govt believes in accountability of all: Ahsan Iqbal 

Islamabad: Minister for Planning and Development Professor Ahsan Iqbal Wednesday stated that the government believes in accountability of all, saying ‘no one is above the law’.

Addressing a presser along with former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi today, he said no one should be afraid of amendments in National Accountability Bureau law.  

The Planning Minister assured that the sitting government will not use it against political opponents as it was the practice of Imran Khan Government.

Ahsan Iqbal said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government took record loans during its tenure and the country was pushed into a deteriorating economic crisis.

Speaking on the occasion, former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said the government should dissolve the NAB and hold its employees accountable for looting money and torturing people for years.

Replying to a question he said proceedings against the PML-N leadership in NAB cases should continue and be telecast live to the public. 

He said we are not afraid of accountability and claimed that the former chairman of NAB was fully under control of the then prime minister Imran Khan.
