Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said that the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) continued existence will keep the country immobilized.

The former leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) told journalists that the government had promised to end NAB after coming into power, but they have empowered it with an ordinance.

“Javed Iqbal (former NAB chief) was saying that the PTI’s founder has been behind NAB cases, while PTI founder’s partymen are saying Qamar Bajwa was registering cases,” Khaqan Abbasi said.
