ISLAMABAD: Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has said that Prime Minister Imran Khan would not back down from holding PML-N leadership accountable for their alleged corrupt practices during their respective tenures.
Fawad Chaudhry said Prime Minister Imran Khan had already categorically said that whatever the opposition did, the accountability of the corrupt would not be stopped in the country.
He said that the opposition was only demanding an NRO like deal which will not be given at any cost. Meanwhile, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice (retired) Javed Iqbal visited the Lahore office to examine the progress of accountability cases.
The Chairman was given briefing on the cases. It is the first visit of NAB Chairman Justice (retired) Javed Iqbal after the incident of stoning at police and PML-N workers on the eve of Maryam Nawaz’s appearance before the anti-graft body regarding 200-acre land case.
Earlier, Fawad Chaudhry said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s departure has affected Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s accountability narrative. He said that Nawaz Sharif’s departure for London had shocked the statement and accountability process of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). The Federal Minister also wrote that those who have a role to play in the preparation of fake reports should set a precedent.
