Argues that it is no longer a secret that NAB is being used for political engineering
LAHORE:
Leader of Opposition in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz on Tuesday approached the Lahore High Court seeking post-arrest bail in an inquiry which National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had initiated under allegations of money laundering and assets beyond of income.
In his plea, Hamza has contended that in order to deter the opposition from criticizing its performance, the incumbent government thought it appropriate to implicate the petitioner and his family in false criminal cases and for this purpose NAB was selected.
He argued that it is no more secrete that NAB is being used as a tool for political engineering and has also since been noticed by the superior courts including the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
