Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi reiterated on Wednesday that the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) actions were politically motivated and said that no work could be done while the anti-graft watchdog was around. Speaking to the media outside NAB Rawalpindi, Abbasi said that the bureau can arrest him if it wants but they should let the country function. The former prime minister called Shehbaz Sharif’s arrest ‘political revenge’ and maintained that it was getting difficult for the democratic system to work in this country. “No country in the world can progress without democracy,” he added. The former premier added that he was accused of wrongfully appointing the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council managing director. “
