LAHORE:
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb has condemned National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) apathy over Professor Javed Ahmed’s health.
She said similar insensitivity had delayed provision of medical board for PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif despite reports that showed signs of cancer relapse. “Who would be answerable for this delay and its effects on Shehbaz's health?” she said adding “Will there be any accountability?”
She said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) apathetic reaction to Ahmed's death exposes their sick mentality. Responding to the statement given by Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry, she said someone as ruthless as Fawad Chaudhry can politicise somebody's death in such a demeaning manner.
The PML-N leader lambasted the events that led to the death of Ahmed and said his handcuffed dead-body is an evidence of the insensitive, ruthless and apathetic practices of NAB that did not respect any individual's honour, health or sanctity of life.
She questioned as to why had the medical board for Shehbaz Sharif had still not been made when a panel of nine most experienced and respected doctors strongly termed it essential for his wellbeing.
"If medical care of a cancer patient is intentionally ignored even after diagnosis of a cancer relapse in his medical reports. How can that not be seen as a passive attempt to take that patient's life?" she asked.
She said Prime Minister Imran Khan's government had ignored multiple requests by the PML-N since November 22, but it was only now that the government is trying to stage a lip service and eyewash after someone lost his lives.
“The PMLN is not scared of accountability, but persecution and political victimisation in the name of accountability would not be tolerated,” she added.
