Accountability of corrupt leaders will be completed: Fayyaz Chohan

LAHORE (Dunya News) - Punjab Information Minister Fayyaz-ul-Hassan Chohan has on Tuesday said the accountability of corrupt leaders has been started and the process will be completed, Dunya News reported.

The provincial minister said in his statement that Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif wants to escape from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and has skipped hearings twice using coronavirus as an excuse.

Shehbaz Sharif committed money laundering, corruption and nepotism with great obstinacy and courage and he should face the anti-corruption watchdog with same attitude now, Fayyaz Chohan remarked.

Answering a question, he said that NAB is an independent body. The National Accountability Bureau has enough evidence against him, but the opposition leader did not appear despite repeated summons.

He asked that should every other criminal also be released if they have any illness. There is no such precedence, he added.

Shehbaz Sharif had fled to London in fear of the Coronavirus, but Coronavirus has exposed Shehbaz Sharif. He is acting out of cowardice. Quarantine lasts for 14 days only, but opposition leader has been in quarantine for several days.
