ISLAMABAD: Chairman National Accountability Bureau Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal on Thursday said PPP leader Shajeel Memon was arrested in compliance with orders issued from an accountability court in Karachi.
In a statement released by the accountability body, the chairman NAB said there was no injustice in Memon’s arrest and added that accountability would be carried out in accordance with the law and without any discrimination.
Iqbal further added that Memon’s case is being heard in the court of law and the warrants for the arrest were authorised by the same court.
Earlier, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Khursheed Shah said the arrest of Memon tarnished the image of NAB.
The veteran Pakistan Peoples Party member and opposition leader, while criticising the arrest, said that those who have non-bailable arrest warrants get bail within an hour.
