ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has filed a reference against the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman days after the Supreme Court declared that the institution failed to investigate the Panama Papers case.
Last week in the verdict on the Panama Papers case judges of the apex court had blamed the NAB chairman of being too partial and partisan to be solely entrusted with such an important and sensitive investigation involving the prime minister and his family.
Speaking outside the Supreme Court here on Monday, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry announced the party’s decision to approach the Supreme Judicial Council for action against the NAB chairman.
We have requested the Supreme Judicial Council to immediately restrict the NAB chief from carrying out his duties, Chaudhry said.
The National Accountability Bureau is among the most corrupt institutions in the country. Judges had specifically noted the NAB chairman’s conduct in the Panama case investigation during the hearings, Chaudhry told reporters.
