Adviser to the Prime Minister on Accountability and Interior Barrister Mirza Shahzad Akbar Wednesday said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government would not allow anyone to disgrace the institutions. Senate Deputy Chairman Saleem Mandviwala should challenge the court’s order for forfeiture of his stock market shares at the relevant high court instead of targeting NAB, he said while talking to media.
He said a member of parliament was not a sacred cow, adding that any parliamentarian could not use his official position for personal benefits. There is no immunity to any parliamentarian and Mandviwala should not had to misuse his official position for personal gains, the adviser said. He lamented that the opposition wanted to make the country banana republic. He said Senate Deputy Chairman Saleem Mandviwala had started targeting National Accountability Bureau (NAB) after instituting cases against him (Mandviwala).—APP
