ISLAMABAD, January 1: National Accountability Bureau Chairman Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal said on Tuesday that without plea bargain, no recoveries of stolen money would have been made.
The NAB chairman was addressing a ceremony at the headquarters in the capital, where he said that the plea bargain rule is unjustly criticised.
He said that the biggest issue in the country is of dishonesty and putting an end to corruption should be the anti-corruption body’s priority.
Justice Iqbal said that the NAB took out all the corruption cases which were hidden, only to lead them to their conclusion in the light of law and as per merit.
The NAB chairman said that organized propaganda is being made against the probe body and those criticizing think that the NAB is not functioning as per the law. “We have scrutnised all the legal aspects and the Supreme Court never called the authority unconstitutional and having Draconian Law.”-Agencies
