Express February 15, 2011

ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has repatriated director-general operation Kausar Iqbal Malik to his parent department, the National Bank of Pakistan.

Kausar Iqbal Malik, a banker by profession, has been working at the NAB headquarters in Islamabad since December 2008.

Analysts say NAB, which is already facing shortage of manpower, will definitely suffer due to Malik’s departure.

Malik was supervising thousands of cases and conducting operation against the corrupt officials in light of Supreme Court’s order.

He was also looking into the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) cases reopened after the apex court declared NRO unconstitutional last year.

Ahmed Ali | 13 years ago | Reply What is article "6" and its wide application: (1) Any person who abrogates or attempts or conspires to abrogate, subverts or attempts or conspires to subverts the constitution by use of force or show of force or by other unconstitutional means shall be guilty of high treason. ... Answer : How many politicians, judges, generals and others were part and parcel of committing above crime? The answer would be all parties in politics today. (2) Any person aiding or abetting the acts mentioned in clause (1) shall likewise be guilty of high treason. Answer : How many politicians, judges, generals and others were part and parcel of committing above crime? The answer would be all parties in politics today. (3) (Majlis-e-Shoora (Parliament) shall by law provide for the punishment of persons fould guilty of high treason. Answer : If the parliament or its any member is not meeting above clauses means a straight forward case of high treason. So far all elected Governments were illegitimate and illegal therefore they were rightly thrown out of power. We have to remove all root causes and support for very honest people with no track record of any constitutional violations particularly article 6 and bring a pure democracy once for all. Current Chief justice is also not meeting above requirements so bring a non PCO judiciary as early as possible.

His property apart from Bahari Town, Islamabad and in Karachi should also put on account. The benefits he had taken from NAB, his foreign visits and specially Dubai visits should also bring and unveil many bitter truths.
