Imran Khan to file reference against Chairman NAB

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf Chairman has decided to take on the Chairman NAB after the historic Panama Papers case verdict which harshly slammed the NAB Chief over his incompetence and inefficiency.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan, on Monday, announced his plan to file a reference against the National Accountability Bureau chairman in the next few days.

“Countries are run by their institutions, but [Pakistan’s] institutions have been destroyed. The Supreme Court is the only institution I have hopes from,” Khan said while talking to members of the press outside his residence in Bani Gala.

He alleged that Pakistan’s institutions were destroyed for corrupt motives. “The head of state can’t be corrupt if the country’s institutions have a strong standing.”

“We stand with the bench that announced the Panama verdict,” said the PTI chief.

Khan also voiced his concerns over illegal constructions in the country. “Such activities need to be checked for the protection of our environment. We will have to work together to strengthen the institutions.”
