ISLAMABAD: Chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Justice retired Javed Iqbal said on Thursday that NAB has no affiliation with anyone except with Pakistan and it has nothing to do with the political engineering.
In a media talk after attending the Public Accounts Committee session, the NAB chief said the Parliament should improve the NAB law to stabilize the institution.
Commenting on any amendment in the NAB law, he urged for an amendment in the national interest and not in the personal interest of someone.
“He is a former prime minister and respectable for me,” NAB chief Justice Javed Iqbal said on a question about Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
The NAB chief avoided commenting over a query when he was asked about his likely resignation from the office after the fall of Imran Khan’s government.
Earlier, in the PAC hearing Chairman NAB complained about the misconceived impression of the anti-graft watchdog.
“We don’t approve 50’s plea bargain on 100’s corruption, these plea bargains approved by courts,” he said. He promised to go give an explanation to the PAC over all matters including the Broadsheet issue.
