ignores mega corruption cases and wrongs of General Pervez Musharraf’s nine-year rule.
Hardly any of the major financial scandals and corruption cases involving hundreds of billions of rupees of Musharraf’s nine-year rule has been reflected in the recent NAB report presented before the Supreme Court.
Almost every key political leader including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, former president Asif Ali Zardari, ex-prime ministers, etc, have been presented as accused in different cases pending for over a decade yet there is no mention of Musharraf or any of his key aides and ministers.
The civilian officers and politicians are asked questions about doling out government lands to favourites but a blind eye has been turned to General Pervez Musharraf, who had illegally allotted over 10,000 acres of military land (meant for martyred families) as political bribe or to his blue-eyed men, including staff members.
From 2005 Stock Exchange swindle to the Pakistan Steels Mills privatisation; 2006 sugar scam to the financial bungling in multi-billion rupee clean drinking water project; alleged kickbacks in defence procurement, including PAF surveillance aircraft deal to the doling out of military land to JUI-F leaders and his (Musharraf’s) personal staff; massive corruption in 2005 earthquake funds to ghost pension scandal; controversial sale of Pakistan’s property in Jakarta to changes in the Islamabad’s master plan for financial benefits of Musharraf’s chief of staff to the innumerable cases of illegal and unconstitutional appointments made by the dictator, almost everything has been missed by the NAB.
Musharraf, who during his rule became a billionaire with assets within the country and abroad, has never been questioned while the NAB has been quick to make references about the key political leaders’ assets.
