ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Tuesday has submitted a list of 35 witnesses in accountability court in connection with the Nandipur Power Project reference. According to details, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Asif and Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) Naveed Qamar have also been included in the list.
On March 11, accountability court had indicted seven accused including former Prime Minister (PM) Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and Babar Awan in the reference. The other accused included former law secretary Riaz Kiyani, Masood Chishti, ex-consultant Shumaila Mahmood, former joint secretary Riaz Mahmood and ex-secretary Shahid Rafique.
