Hamza terms plea bargains 'money-making scheme' for NAB officials

NAB policies are causing economic upheaval, says PML-N leader

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hamza Shehbaz on Thursday rebuked the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officials for tapping millions through plea bargains.

Addressing the media in Lahore, the PML-N veteran lashed out at the anti-graft body over its policies causing economic upheaval.

"Plea bargains are not fair. Every official from the bureau embezzles huge sums of money through it," he claimed.

The PML-N leader reiterated that nobody had been able to prove pennyworth of corruption against himself, Nawaz, and Shehbaz Sharif.

"Imran should fear the day NAB foments corruption scandals against him," he added.

Comparing Malik Mansha Khokar alias Mansha Bomb and the accountability bureau, the Opposition Leader said that there was no difference between the two.

"Both function the same way," he said.

On the plight of a common man, Hamza said that inflation is at an all-time high, adding that investors were no longer interest in trade with Pakistan.

The Lahore High Court, earlier, extended the PML-N's leaders till May 8.
