FIA treading same path as NAB, Zardari tells Nawaz
DUBAI: Reacting to the criticism of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-Chairman, Asif Zardari Tuesday said the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) too is following in the footsteps of NAB.
Earlier today PM Nawaz Sharif said that the NAB needs to take up cases only after thorough initial investigation. “No one should be harassed without verification and solid proofs,” he added.
Drawing attention of the PM, Asif Zardari said, ‘your minister had gone on record to say that Dr Asim Hussain had neither committed any theft nor corruption and yet he is being persecuted months on end’.
“Mian sahib, the FIA has taken the same path that the NAB had adopted,” he claimed.
Zardari said actions are being taken that are in direct clash with the 18th amendment.
