- Says war against corruption will continue without discrimination
- Chairman lamented that some people have made a habit of not appearing before the NAB despite summons
LAHORE, June 25: : Chairman of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Justice (Retd) Javed Iqbal Monday revealed that the anti-graft body was issued a threat to blow up its headquarters with explosives.
The NAB chairman was addressing officers at the NAB’s Lahore complex, where he made the revelation.
“But the decision of life and death rests with Allah,” he said, vowing that the war against corruption will continue without discrimination. “Some people want the anti-graft body to arrest politicians so that they become political martyrs ahead of the elections,” NAB sources quoted Iqbal as saying.
“All the arrests will be made on the basis of merit and the NAB does not arrest people upon anyone’s wishes.”
He lamented that some people have made a habit of not appearing before the NAB despite summons.
Iqbal further said that the progress regarding the investigation on mega corruption cases is encouraging.-Agencies
