LAHORE: Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Sunday denounced the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), terming it a tool with which kleptocrats “change loyalties and save themselves”.
“I am all for accountability — if you want accountability. NAB is not accountability. NAB is whatever it is — it is political engineering, it is manipulating politics, it is punishing people without convicting them,” he remarked, while addressing the Asma Jahangir Conference.
The PML-N stalwart went on to say NAB is about “victimisation” — not that of an individual, or a group of individuals, or even a political party. “The entity paying the price today are the people of Pakistan,” he elaborated.
