June 26, 2014
MARDAN: Senator Mohammad Azam Hoti on Wednesday said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led provincial government raised slogan of accountability but added that it only held lower scale officials accountable while sparing big guns.
Addressing a news conference at the Mardan Press Club, Azam Hoti also criticised the previous provincial government of the Awami National Party. “The people, who used to ride bicycles before the 2008 election, are now travelling in luxurious cars,” he said while referring to some ANP leaders. “I present myself for accountability to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB),” he added.
He said in the first week of June, he wanted to visit his residence in Mardan, but added that the police asked him not to enter his house as they supported his son Haider Hoti.Azam Hoti said later he submitted an application to the police for registering a case against his son for occupying his house. But the police haven’t taken any action on his application, he added. He said he would join a political party soon and would start taking part in active politics.
