Hamza instead of cooperating with the NAB, unleashed his staff who tortured and attacked NAB team

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Friday said that cries of the corrupt elements from Lahore to Larkana were being listened as for the first time in the history of Pakistan big fish were being arrested under accountability law.

Talking to media in Islamabad on Friday, he said that there was no threat to democracy, economy or Islam in the country, only the future of corrupt people was in danger following National Accountability Bureau (NAB) action.

He said the other day former president and Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Zardari and party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and this day Hamza Shehbaz Sharif were shouting against the NAB as they had been caught red handed by the accountability watchdog and could not escape the law.

The minister said that if Hamza was a real political leader, he would have cooperated with NAB team and not resisted effort of his arrest, adding that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had the history of attacking national institutions as its workers had attacked Supreme Court of Pakistan in the past, and now they attacked the NAB team performing its legal duties.

Chaudhry said, “Hamza instead of cooperating with the NAB, unleashed his staff who tortured and attacked NAB team and interfered in official business.”

“Rs85 billion assets of Shehbaz Shairf had been unearthed abroad and proofs of Hamaza Shehbaz involvement in money laundering had been traced,” Fawad said and added in response to NAB action, the institution was ridiculed but the process of accountability would not stop by such threats.
