Former Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani lands in hot waters

RAWALPINDI: Former Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani lands in hot waters from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

NAB has summoned former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gillani tomorrow (Monday) in a probe related to illegal appointments case, ARY News reported on Sunday, citing sources.

As per details, the anti-graft watchdog has asked Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Yousaf Raza Gillani to appear before NAB Rawalpindi office on Monday at 11:00 am for interrogation into illegal appointment case.

Ex-PM Gillani misused his power and appointed former managing director Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) illegally, said NAB.

Earlier, on December 11, the accountability court had summoned ex-prime minister Yousaf Raza Gillani on January 13 for indictment in illegal advertisement contracts case.

During the proceedings, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) court judge Azam Khan had directed the former premier to appear in the next hearing at any cost.

It must be noted that PPP leader is facing several inquires including fake bank accounts case. He appeared before NAB in April in the fake bank accounts case where the anti-graft watchdog had handed over a questionnaire to him.
