ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Advisor to Prime Minister on Interior Shehzad Akbar has said that Deputy Chairman of Senate Saleem Mandviwalla cannot use his position for his personal gains. He said every letter of opposition’s draft on NAB rules is equivalent to NRO as all those who made amendments are accused in cases of anti-graft watchdog.

Shehzad Akbar, while addressing a press conference, claimed that Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) was formed after government refused to give relief to opposition.

He said that FATF has set goals to bring transparency in the financial system and government sought cooperation from opposition for legislation but political opponents made the issue of national importance controversial.

He claimed that the PPP and PML-N asked for amendments in the NAB laws and they would support the FATF legislation only after the NAB amendments.

Shehzad Akbar said that the opposition had tabled 34 amendments in the NAB rules, demanding that the NAB rules be implemented from 1999 onwards as they wanted to evade justice for their past looting and illegal activities.

Talking about Deputy Chairman Senate statement regarding exposing NAB, he said Saleem Mandviwalla got the post for legislation and he cannot use it for personal gain.

The PM’s aide further said that the deputy chairman is threatening the institutions for personal interests and government will not allow this and lawmakers will stand against him.
