Imran slams chairman NAB for protecting Nawaz
PESHAWAR: PTI chief Imran Khan Sunday assailed NAB chairman for 'protecting' Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and called for holding the Premier accountable for his assets worth billions abroad.
Addressing the participants of the accountability rally, Imran criticized the NAB chairman for not holding PM Nawaz accountable for the disclosures in the Panama Papers. Imran asked the NAB chairman whether he was appointed to only catch petty thieves.
"Chairman NAB's handsome salary is paid by the taxes of the poor," said Imran. "Has he been appointed to provide protection to the unjust," he stated.
Imran told his jubilant followers that next week, he would go to Islamabad from Rawalpindi and take out a protest there.
"After Islamabad, I will turn towards Lahore," he said. Imran said that people always had the right to hold a leader accountable and said that the only reason Nawaz Sharif wasn't able to produce a reply to the accusations since the past four months because his wealth was ill-gotten.
Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf have announced a couple of protests against the federal government and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The government and the opposition parties did not agree to the terms of reference of the judicial commission which would hold accountable Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and those named in the Panama Papers.
