Maryam Nawaz questions why Jahangir Tareen’s case hasn’t been forwarded to NAB

Says the PTI leader has misused his authority and should be held accountable

Criticising the judgement in the Jahangir Tareen case, Maryam Nawaz on Saturday that despite being disqualified Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader’s case was not forwarded to the National Accountability Bureau.

In a tweet, deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter said that despite being disqualified on charges of inside trading and accepting the allegations Tareen’s case was not forwarded to NAB.

مشرف دور میں بطور وزیر اختیارات کا ناجائز استعمال ثابت ہونے پر جہانگیر ترین سے عوام کی لوٹی دولت واپس لینے میں احتساب کا راستہ کس نے روکا ؟

In another tweet she said that Tareen was not disqualified for not taking salary from his son but was disqualified for misusing his authority to expand his business.

یاد رہے کہ جہانگیر ترین کا جرم بیٹے سے تنخواہ نہ لینا نہیں تھا بلکہ انہوں نے اختیارات کے ناجائز استعمال سےاپنے کاروبار کو پھیلایا۔ نیب کیس ؟

The Supreme Court disqualified Jahangir Tareen and barred him from holding any public office in its December 15 verdict.

The bench disqualified Tareen on very similar grounds to those used by the larger bench to oust former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. The court did not pass any direction regarding allegations of corruption against Tareen.
