LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Monday was granted a 10-day extension in the remand of Leader of the Opposition Shehbaz Sharif in the Ashiana Iqbal Housing scandal.
The PML-N president was produced before the accountability court a day before the expiry of 14-day remand given to the anti-graft body on October 16.
The court has now directed the NAB to produce the former Punjab CM on Nov 06.
As the hearing resumed today, Shehbaz told the court he has been implicated in false cases and that the NAB is blackmailing him.
The PML-N president further said, "I'm a cancer survivor but they [NAB officials] are not even allowing me to get my check-up done."
"I am not even allowed to meet my family," he added.
Presenting the minutes of the first meeting for the bidding of the contract, Shehbaz said, “The inquiry is from December 2013 to October 2014 and I’m reading out minutes from February 27, 2014.”
