KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has accused Prime Minister Imran Khan of resorting to blackmail the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in a bid to hinder accountability of the government officials.
At a news conference in Larkana on Saturday, Bilawal said the premier had been exerting pressure on the anti-corruption watchdog for a while but no one expected him to stoop to blackmailing.
“I condemn his attempt to defame NAB … why only a single TV channel which is being run by the PM’s adviser and friend aired the news,” he remarked, adding that NAB law was a black law, promulgated by a dictator.
The PPP chairman said that just a single Iftar-dinner, he hosted for all prominent opposition leaders at his Islamabad residence last Sunday, was enough for the government to panic as “screams could now be heard coming out of the PM House”.
Earlier, the PML-N also hinted at the government’s possible role in a video scandal of the NAB chairman’s alleged conversation with a woman and has called for a parliamentary inquiry. (tribune.com.pk)
