ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan's People's Party ex Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon lashed out at NAB.
Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Sharjeel Inam Memon on Sunday heavily criticised National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for its lack of “across the board” action against those named in corruption cases.The former information minister in the PPP-led government in Sindh, was released late Saturday night after he was arrested soon after a flight carrying him landed at the Islamabad airport.
The PPP leader was released after the National Accountability Bureau verified the bail papers that his counsel had submitted to the bureau.
“If the law is the same for everyone, why wasn’t Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s name included in the Exit Control List (ECL) in view of the ongoing Panama Papers case against him,” Sharjeel questioned.
The bureau’s action should be across the board without any discrimination, he said. “Was the NAB created only to function in Sindh or against PPP."
He accused the rulers of barring NAB from carrying out investigation in cases relating to Punjab, saying the bureau had now practically become inactive in the province.
