ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Tuesday announced that the inquiry against chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Maulana Fazlur Rehman is continuing in NAB Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

In its announcement, the NAB said Maulana Fazlur Rehman could be summoned to get his view on ongoing inquiry against him. However, the NAB did not give any date for his summoning and said Maulana Fazlur Rehman could be summoned as per law to give an explanation.
