Imran Khan announces to challenge NAB amendment in SC

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday announced to challenge the amendments in the NAB law in the Supreme Court this week. 

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Tuesday, he said that he will not keep mum on the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) amendments and will consult every constitutional and legal forum.

Imran Khan said that he knew that the current rulers will protect themselves after coming into power. "They are trying to end their cases in the guise of reforms," he said. He said that he started movement against corruption 26 years ago and the corruption prevails when there is lack of justice.

The PTI chairman said the country’s development comes with the rule of law and rule of law means no one is above the law.

The former PM went on to say that there is no lack of resources in the country but the lack of justice, adding that the country cannot progress without bringing the corrupt under the law.

"The rulers should be jailed for shamelessly passing amendments in the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) laws," he said, adding that the amendments would help the corrupt elite to protect themselves. “These rulers are attempting to close the cases against them under the pretext of reforms,” he added.
