Act of solidarity: NAB staff announce countrywide strike
National Accountability Bureau (NAB) workers will begin a pen-down strike across the country from Monday onwards in protest over the mysterious death of their colleague Kamran Faisal, The Express Tribune has learnt.
In a meeting at the bureaus Rawalpindi office on Sunday, more than 30 officers, ranging from the rank of assistant director (AD) to director general (DG) said the strike would continue until NAB implemented the Supreme Courts (SC) January 15 order, which
called for the arrest of Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and others accused in the rental power case.
The officers also resolved to appear before the SC hearing on January 23 to submit all information sought by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry.
The meeting was presided over by newly reinstated NAB Rawalpindi DG Col (retd) Subeh Sadiq. Sadiq, who had been sent on forced leave, was reinstated following an SC order so that he could appear before the court on January 23.
In a text conversation with The Express Tribune, the NAB officers claimed that Faisal was murdered, probably by those involved in the rental power plants (RPPs) scandal.
They maintained that his (Kamrans) room had an auto-locking mechanism; the lights were switched off as well His feet still touched the table, the loop around his neck was loose He never used any medication for depression and he had sound faith in Allah He was against suicide.
The officers said they would not rest until all culprits were behind bars, adding that the strike would continue until the NAB chairman issued warrants for arresting the accused in the RPPs case. They also rejected the newly constituted judicial commission, asking that it either be headed by Justice (retd) Khalilur Rehman Ramday instead of Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal or the Federal Investigation Agency DG form a joint investigation team to probe the case.
NAB spokesperson Zafar Iqbal Khan said a pen-down strike was not the best way to register a protest.
The entire bureau is traumatised by Faisals untimely death, he said while talking to The Express Tribune. Zafar added that NAB had no objection to any independent inquiry into the case.
