Opposition raises issue of NAB actions in Senate
Raja Zafar-ul-Haq said it is not right to humiliate people by imprisoning them.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The opposition has on Friday raised the issue of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) actions in the Senate as its leader in the House, Raja Zafar-ul-Haq, said it is not right to humiliate people by imprisoning them.
Raja Zafar-ul-Haq said in the session, chaired by Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani, that there will be unrest in the country owing the trend that is being followed by the anti-corruption watchdog.
The opposition leader said the Supreme Court of Pakistan had also declared such actions of the anti-graft body as unilateral. He requested the chairman to send the matter to concerned committees.
Raja Zafar-ul-Haq remarked that everyone is aware of the issue of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Asif’s arrest. He said Khawaja Asif knew beforehand that he could be detained any time.
While responding to Raja Zafar-ul-Haq, Leader of the House Shehzad Waseem said this is the same NAB which was initiated by Saifur Rehman and, today, it is being criticized. The NAB is an independent body and its chairman was not appointed by the incumbent government, he said.
