PTI to approach NAB for probe into corruption charges against Sindh govt
Fahad Zulfikar Jul 12 2020

(Karachi) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders Haleem Adil Sheikh and Firdous Shamim Naqvi have announced that they would approach the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to launch an investigation into corruption charges against the Sindh government.

Addressing a press conference in Karachi on Sunday, Sheikh who is facing a NAB probe over alleged encroachment and sale of 257 acres of state land, said he will face the corruption watchdog whenever he is summoned for questioning.

“There is no truth in these allegations,” he said. "I just got four acres on lease where I set up a poultry farm after obtaining a loan," he maintained.

Accusing the Anti-Corruption Establishment Sindh of initiating a witch-hunt against him after he held a rally against Omni Group, owned by former president Asif Ali Zardari’s close aide Anwar Majeed, Haleem Adil Sheikh said it cooked up a plethora of lies to implicate him.

He also denied money laundering allegations levelled against him and sought constitution of a judicial commission to probe encroachments on state land in Karachi’s Malir district.

Speaking on the occasion, Naqvi said the PPP-led Sindh government is involved in corrupt practices. He called for a probe into allegations against PPP ministers.

(Karachi) The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has received details of the properties owned by Aviation Minister Ghulam Sarwar Khan and his family, media reported on Sunday.

The NAB sought the property details of the minister and members of his family from the Rawalpindi revenue department in connection with its ongoing investigation into his assets. The property details provided to the bureau included information on commercial and agricultural land owned by him.

However, the sources relayed that the accountability bureau will seek further asset details of the minister from the Federal Board of Revenue and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

Earlier on May 15, the aviation minister had welcomed the NAB inquiry against him and his family. Speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, he said he will not criticise the anti-graft watchdog as it is a sovereign body.

Sawar said he and his family has been in politics for five decades. He added he will present himself and family before the NAB for an inquiry into assets beyond means charges.
