The minister challenged the NAB for investigating him and filing a case against him as he would not seek bail.

"I will go to the NAB's office on Monday. I will say 'Here I am. Arrest me if you will. Take me away on remand,” Ghani told a news conference in the provincial capital.

The minister said even if NAB seeks his 90-day remand, he won’t enter a plea.

The minister said that no notice was ever issued against him for speaking out against the NAB chairman, adding NAB Chairman retired Justice Javed Iqbal is continuously blackmailed by the government.

A day earlier, NAB issued a statement denying several allegations made by Sindh Education Minister Saeed Ghani, saying that an investigation is under process against Ghani by NAB Karachi after due process of law.

“The NAB has already clarified that NAB Karachi Bureau was conducting an inquiry against Haleem Adil Sheikh after being authorised by the relevant authority,” the NAB statement stated in response to Ghani's allegation.

The NAB statement said a legal notice will be sent to Ghani for "misleading the public and trying to tarnish the image of NAB”.

Saeed Ghani shared the NAB statement with his tweet saying: "I have blasphemed against the NAB chairman. I have spoken of PTI's corruption. Of course they will teach me a lesson."
