LAHORE: (HRNW) The Imran Khan led Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government is all set to issue an ordinance to extend the four years tenure of Chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Justice (Retd) Javed Iqbal while the opposition is determined to boycott it.
Sources privy to this development told Bol News that Law Minister Farogh Naseem was advised by the premier to prepare a draft for the presidential ordinance.
“The Final draft is with the PM Imran at the moment and will be presented to the President Arif Alvi in the coming days after receiving a go-ahead from the premier Imran Khan,” sources said.
The sources said that the summary (of the draft) sent to the premier had put all the relevant propositions before the PM Imran and it not only confined itself to grant an extension but had also suggested a legal case against such a move.
They added that in case the premier reaches the final decision to extend Justice (Retd) Iqbal’s tenure, the ministry will prepare a draft to amend the National Accountability Ordinance (NAO) and send it to President Alvi for approval.
