NAB holds ‘double standards’ against PPP: Sindh info minister

KARACHI (PPI): Sindh Information Minister Nasir Hussain Shah said on Thursday that National Accountability Bureau (NAB) holds double standards against Pakistan Peoples’ Party leaders.

Speaking at a press conference, in reference to NAB’s Sharjeel Memon case, he said that not a single member of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has been put on the Exit Control List (ECL).

“NAB has a different attitude for PPP compared to the PML-N,” he said. “Everyone has seen how royally Nawaz Sharif has returned back to the country.”

Responding to a question, the minister called Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan leader Farooq Sattar, ‘ a self-proclaimed leader’.

He said that the government cannot allow MQM-Pakistan’s rally on their desired date as before them Ayaz Latif Palejo’s Qaumi Awami Tehreek party had requested the administration to grant them permission for their public gathering.

“Sattar is trying to create an unnecessary drama. We are in fact with MQM-Pakistan on their reservations against census results,” Shah said.
