NAB No Longer an Institution to Catch Corruption, But to Harass Opponent: Maryam

By Our Web Desk

LAHORE– PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz said that she wants to know who gave the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) the authority to check the statements of witnesses.

Talking to newsmen before a Lahore High Court hearing on NAB’s plea to cancel post-arrest bail granted to her in the Chauhdry Sugar Mills case, Maryam said that it was said in the high court that “Maryam Nawaz is giving statements and her bail should be cancelled”. “NAB is an institution of revenge,” Maryam said and called NAB’s claims that she was not cooperating in the watchdog’s investigation a “big lie”.

She said she was detained for three months and asked trivial questions. “People can see that the government’s legs are shaking and your hands and feet are swollen, don’t fool the people,” she said.

“NAB is no longer an institution catching corruption, but an institution to harass Prime Minister Imran Khan’s opponents because he cannot compete in the field” Maryam said. If NAB had caught corruption, it would have caught the flour and sugar thieves, she said. She called for the PTI government to stop hiding behind NAB and the high court.

The PML-N leader said that PM Khan is a puppet who was imposed on 220 million people and all of Pakistan saw the result.  Imran Khan is the culprit of the people so the PML-N and PDM will not sit with the government,” she said.
