PPP Mulls Over Filing Reference Against NAB Chairman

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leadership is mulling over filing a reference against Chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Justice (Retd.) Javed Iqbal in Supreme Judicial Council for his alleged recent interview to a journalist.

According to sources, PPP has begun seeking help of legal experts and considering several other legal options to file reference against the Anti-graft body’s chairman.

Sources said that PPP will table Justice (Retd.) Javed’s statements against party co-chairman Asif Zardari during the alleged interview as evidence before Supreme Judicial Council.

It may be noted that opposition parties are heavily criticising chairman NAB over the alleged interview to a journalist, however, NAB spokesperson has rebutted the news, terming it ‘baseless’.

In an apparent clarification, the anti-graft watchdog body’s spokesperson said, “It is not right to attack a statement with chairman NAB”.

“NAB’s rebuttal in this regard has already being published in newspapers and aired at various TV channels”, he said.
