ISLAMABAD: Denying all the allegations levelled against it, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Sunday said it had time and again clarified and announced that it had no affiliation with any political party, individual or group and its affiliation was only with the State of Pakistan.
In a statement with regard to the Deputy Chairman Senate Salim Mandviwalla’s allegations against the NAB in a press talk on Saturday, the NAB said it will not come under any pressure or propaganda campaign.
Clarifying the media reports, the NAB said the land of Kidney Hill area was reserved for amenity purposes i.e. development of a public park. KDA has published a notification in the Gazette of Pakistan under Article 45 of KDA order dated 07-11-1966 & 05-09-1969 regarding Kidney Hill as KDA Scheme No 32 “FALAKNAMA” and proposed it to be a recreational area as park.

ISLAMABAD: Apparently responding to the remarks made by the Senate deputy chairman on Saturday, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has repudiated a “malicious propaganda campaign” being carried out in a section of media to malign the anti-graft watchdog by casting lopsided aspersions over the bureau.
A NAB spokesman said in a statement on Sunday that the bureau would not bow down before any propaganda campaign about its working.
The context used in some of the said media reports was premised on deliberate conjecturing and assumptions based on cherry picked surmises which were far from facts and aimed only to discredit NAB, he said.
