Islamabad (HRNW) Prime Minister Imran Khan will never consult, Shehbaz Sharif, leader of the opposition, for the appointment of the chairman of the National Accountability Bureau, Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said Tuesday.
In a media talk after the Federal Cabinet meeting in Islamabad, he said that the extension of NAB Chairman retired Justice Javed Iqbal was not discussed in the meeting. “The draft of the NAB ordinance has been drafted and will be issued tomorrow [Wednesday].”
It will remove every legal objection, Chaudhry said, promising that the new new ordinance will empower accountability courts. “The government wants to strengthen the system, not an individual.”
The PM has categorically refused to take consultation from Shehbaz because he has been accused by NAB. “Taking his consultation will be equivalent to asking a thief to choose his investigation officer.”
“It would have been better if we could consult a man who is not accused of money laundering. The opposition should change their leader,” the minister insisted.
He added that the government has repeatedly tried to hold talks with the Opposition regarding electoral reforms but didn’t get a positive response.
