The meeting showed complete solidarity with the senior minister however; it was decided to avoid politicizing this issue.
“PTI believes in supremacy of law and hopes for justice to prevail,” the participants affirmed.
“Previous governments tried to undermine the identity of institutions while criticizing them. No pressure will be on any institution now.
Contrary to past ruling parties, PTI believes in the implementation of law which will pave its own way following which Aleem Khan will be served justice,” asserted the members.
National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday arrested the senior PTI leader in connection with offshore companies’ scandal.
The anti-corruption watchdog had summoned Aleem Khan at Lahore office for interrogation. The investigation officials were reportedly not satisfied with the records provided by him.
