Islamabad, April 12 (UNI) PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday asked his party’s president and Prime Ministed Shehbaz Sharif, to dissolve the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and hold its employees accountable, Dawn reported. Abbasi accused the employee’s of NAB of looting and torturing people and said that it is now time to hold them accountable.

Abbasi especially accused the NAB chairman of being hand-in-glove with PTI chairman and former p[riem minister Imran Khan and taking “instructions” form him and targeting his political enemies.

He also claimed that NAB couldn’t prove a single reference or inquiry against PML-N leaders in the last four years. He also revealed that the government would move courts for the installation of cameras inside NAB courts so as to bring in more transparency in the working of the NAB.

He clarified that holding the NAB accountable wasn’t part of any revenge plan against them or anyone else, but was just an effort to make the organisation more transparent and accountable. Whatever happened in the last four years, he reiterated, would be kept in front of the public.
