CM Shahbaz Sharif hits out at NAB Chief yet again

LAHORE - Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif has hit out at the Chairman NAB over the latest inquiry of $4.9 allegedly transfered to India through Nawaz Sharif and others.

He said on Wednesday that the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) announcement of a money laundering probe against Nawaz Sharif should be probed to determine who is behind the move.

Shehbaz, who is also president of the Pakistan Muslim League-N after Nawaz’s disqualification, said the NAB inquiry announcement has cast a bad light on the accountability bureau.

With regards to a recent statement by the NAB chief that its sun is shining on the entire country and not just Punjab, as stated by the Punjab chief minister earlier, Shehbaz said it seems in the other provinces the sun has been blocked by clouds.

Talking to the media after meeting Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal who is undergoing treatment after a failed assassination bid, Shehbaz said they have to go to the root cause of the issue behind rising extremism and intolerance in society.

Taking an aim at his political opponents, Shehbaz said Imran Khan and Asif Ali Zardari are one of the same.
