Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leaders Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi appeared before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in Lahore on Monday in connection with charges of possessing assets beyond known sources of income.
The two cousins, also known as Chaudhry brothers, submitted their bank account details and documents to the anti-graft watchdog and were questioned for about an hour, Express News reported.
Mission impossible: Shujaat attempts to unify Muslim leagues
A three-member NAB team recorded their statements. The case against Shujaat, a former caretaker PM and Pervaiz, a former deputy PM and Punjab CM, was filed in 2000, before they had allied themselves with former president Gen (retd) Pervez Musharraf.
At that time, the two politicians were affiliated with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
Speaking to reporters after appearing before NAB, Pervaiz said he and Shujaat were not afraid of facing such cases as they had history of being politically victimised.
