PM Khan was referring to a complaint shared by a tweep over NAB’s action against the provincial director archaeology and museums, saying: “NAB brought the only PhD in Sanskrit, in Asia from Germany, a Fulbright scholar and a gold medalist in archaeology, Dr. Samad, to court for employing low paid workers to ward off illegal excavations. What a shame! Why should anybody serve here!”

The PM wrote: “The NAB Chairman should take action against those in his institution who are responsible for this disgraceful act.”
