Pakistan Muslim League-N leader and former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday pushed ex-National Accountability Bureau chairman Justice (R) Javed Iqbal to name the persons at whose behest he filed “false” cases against the political leaders.
Mr Abbasi, who is also facing a case over alleged corruption in the award of a liquefied natural gas import contract, told media that he was baffled by the case registered against him. Saying Javed will have to be answerable, the PML-N stalwart reiterated his stance that the NAB should be abolished as no government could be run with its existence.
He said Fawad Hassan Fawad, his former principal secretary who was recently acquitted in the corruption case, was also embroiled in the false case. “Public has to pay the price when the NAB is used to pressurise politicians,” he said.
Responding to a question, he said he was not leaving the party. He also dispelled rumours of receiving an offer from Imran Khan led-Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. Responding to another question he stated the PML-N head Mian Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan after completion of his medical treatment.
