Islamabad (September 13, 2017): The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has rejected ‘reports’ that chairman of the anti-graft body was offered a diplomatic position in France.
A NAB spokesman said that the reports were baseless and was no truth in the allegations.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Naeem-ul-Haque earlier today claimed that the NAB chairman had been offered the position by Fawad Hassan Fawad, secretary to the prime minister, in exchange for employing delaying tactics in probe against the Sharifs.
“I had said this 15 days back, and it has not been rebutted still, that Fawad is still colluding with Nawaz. Fawad phoned NAB chairman and asked him to delay probe in exchange of a job as French ambassador,” he said.
NAB had filed three references against the Sharif family and one against Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in the court in light of the Supreme Court’s directives in the Panama Papers verdict of July 28.
Moreover, on Wednesday, NAB resubmitted one of the the references in the accountability court removing the technical errors present in the reference.
The court summoned Nawaz Sharif and his two son for September 19 to apepar beofre it in the reference.
