The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has summoned Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader, Hamza Shehbaz today (Friday), in a case pertaining to assets beyond known sources of income.
The NAB also issued a notice to Hamza Shehbaz, who is also opposition leader in the Punjab Assembly, on his residence in city’s Model Town.
Sources said the PML-N leader would be grilled on transactions into bank account from different suspicious accounts.
Sources informed that NAB had acquired ‘important evidence’ from Financial Monitoring Unit (FMU) in the case of Hamza Shehbaz. It is learnt that the accountability watchdog had also got evidence against Salman Shehbaz, son of former chief minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif.
Meanwhile Leader of Opposition in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz on Thursday said that he was not afraid of the hollow threats of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and Prime Minister Imran Khan and the allegations of money laundering would prove false. Talking to media in Lahore on Thursday, he said that the country’s economic situation is dangerous, adding that we gave chance to the incumbent government that they might perform but they ruined the country’s economy. The opposition leader said that the members of the government themselves declared the economic situation dangerous. The prime minister instead of improving the economic situation gives tasks to the cabinet members.
