LAHORE: PMLN Punjab spokesperson Azma Bukhari has said Anti- Corruption Department can’t investigate mega scandal worth Rs40 billion.
She said this while addressing a press conference at the party Secretariat in Model Town Wednesday. She demanded the NAB chairman to issue orders for arresting ‘big crocodiles’ instead of ‘small fish’. She said if investigated properly, Usman Buzdar would have to stay in jail for much more time than he was in power. She said everyday a new scandal of this government was surfacing.
“Shahbaz Sharif is arrested on false charges,” Azma said, adding why the NAB was not arresting Usman Buzdar and friends of Imran Khan in Rawalpindi Ring Road scam. She claimed that the government was trying to shelve this corruption like the previous scandals of flour, sugar and LNG. “Whenever Imran Khan’s neck gets stuck, he hits someone else. Usman Buzdar is Imran Khan’s facilitator,” she added.
