ISLAMABAD: (HRNW) PML-N leader Khawaja Asif on Wednesday regretted that accountability laws seem only to apply when the opposition is to be targeted, while “extremely corrupt” elements on the government benches enjoy immunity from the same laws.
The remarks were made during a fiery speech in the National Assembly, during a debate on proposed changes to the laws governing the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The amendments had been tabled as part of a legislative effort to meet requirements for Pakistan’s desired exit from the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF) grey list.
In his address, the former defence minister said that the opposition and his party want what is better for the country, and for this purpose, they “do not want to make the FATF controversial”.
