The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Saturday sent a new questionnaire to the former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi in connection with the illegal appointment case. The 10-point questionnaire was sent to the politician over his alleged involvement in the illegal appointment of Aadil Gilani to which the anti-graft watchdog initiated an inquiry, sources said.
It may be noted here the Abbasi is also facing charges of making illegal appointments in the state-owned Pakistan State Oil (PSO).
Earlier in August last year, an accountability court in Islamabad had indicted ex-premier Abbasi in a case related to illegal appointments in Pakistan State Oil (PSO). The indictment had been made following a reference filed by the anti-graft watchdog in an accountability court in Karachi against him in connection with the illegal appointment of Imran-ul-Haq as PSO managing director.—Staff Reporter
