ISLAMABAD:
The government and opposition benches in the National Assembly stood divided on Monday on referring the scandal of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman, allegedly harassing a woman by exerting influence, to a committee after the Pakistan Citizen Portal (PCP) dropped her complaint while declaring it “beyond jurisdiction”.
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) demanded that the NAB chairman’s video scandal should be handed over to a standing committee while the treasury benches termed the move a tactic to pressurize NAB and its chairman.
