ISLAMABAD: Chairman National Accountability Bureau, Justice (Retd) Javed Iqbal on Wednesday said there is no power which can pull strings of the bureau.
“I would take my bag and quit the institution if a string is pulled,” he said while interacting with reporters after briefing the Public Accounts Committee of National Assembly in parliament house.
Answering a question, the Chairman said it is not correct that NAB is taking "revenge," adding that the anti-corruption inquiries will be completed swiftly and properly.
