NAB summons Khaqan Abbasi in another inquiry on April 26
Islamabad: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has summoned former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on April 26 in another inquiry against him regarding appointment of former Managing Director (MD) Pakistan Petroleum.
According to details, the Rawalpindi office of anti-corruption watchdog has taken notice of alleged corruption and illegal appointment of Wamiq Bokhari after receiving complaints in this regard.
NAB has directed Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader to bring complete record with him.
Earlier today, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi demanded the arrest of Prime Minister Imran Khan, blaming him and his cabinet for the sugar crisis.
While speaking to media outside accountability court in Islamabad, the former premier said that people of the country are forced to stand in lines to get sugar.
“Accountability and justice demands that all responsible ministers should be called by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and cases should be registered against them for creating sugar crisis in the country,” he said.
Criticizing the policies of ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), Khaqan Abbasi said that Pakistan is the only country where people are purchasing vaccine from their own money.
“In is unfortunate that where world has controlled the spread of coronavirus, the number of infections are increasing in Pakistan with each passing day. In my opinion they should shut down National Command and Operations Center (NCOC) as it is completely useless. Time is near when people of Pakistan will be banned from travelling abroad,” he said.
The PML-N leader further stated that the anti-corruption watchdog is only made for opposition parties.
“Shahbaz Sharif has served jail without any proofs against him. NAB is being used to take political revenge,” he added.
