The Punjab Assembly while passing a resolution against National Accountability Bureau Chief Justice Javed Iqbal condemned Ahad Cheema’s arrest and also demanded to repeal the plea bargain law.

NAB in its most recent crackdown investigated Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif over the accusations of corruption in Ashiyana Housing Scheme. Former DG Lahore Development Authority Ahad Cheema and contractor Shahid Shafiq were also arrested in the case. Punjab bureaucracy is charged over Ahad Cheema’s arrest and has also gone on a work strike.

Provincial Law Minister Rana Sanaullah tabled a resolution against NAB which has been approved by the assembly.

Demanding elimination of plea bargain law from NAB laws, the resolution said that the accountability bureau is violating basic human rights.

“NAB not only arrested, harassed a senior government official but is also involved in character assassination. NAB law contradicts human rights and dignity,” the resolution read.

Opposition parties staged a walked out of the session after which the government assembly members approved it in absence of opposition.

PTI on NAB resolution

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairperson Imran Khan while addressing media in Lahore said: “Pakistan condemns this (NAB) resolution.”

He further questioned if the Sharifs were above the law.

Imran remarked saying that countries do not progress without empowering institutes.

Cheema was arrested last week for alleged misuse of authority in awarding Rs14 billion Ashiyana-e-lqbal project to Lahore Casa Developers, a joint venture (JV) said to be ineligible for the contract.

How on earth can this be allowed in any civilised country. A government official is not above the law yet PMLN are passing resolutions which specifically protects them. Surely the SC needs to remove and ban this party for good.

They are backed by GCC/Saudi and the West. There's no way they go anywhere. There's a reason why PMLN and Nawaz struts around like a master. That's because he owns the god damn country since he holds them hostage.

Looks like Noony dangars are in panic mode, if they have got nothing to hide why are they so scared, Let NAB complete its investigation, but no Noony dangars are using Punjab assembly and federal parliament to twist and bend the rules to their favour, they are clearly obstructing justice, I am sick and tired of these haraami PMLN paralysing the state institutions to protect their rotten corruption.

If democracy goes this time, it will be brutal and these politicians will be responsible for the outcome.

So far it's these scums who have thrashed democracy and rule of law.
