ISLAMABAD – The chairman of National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Justice (r) Javed Iqbal has revealed that somebody threatened of blowing up the anti-graft body’s headquarters with explosives.
“But the decision of life and death rests with Allah,” the NAB chief said while addressing the NAB officers at Lahore complex on Monday. He vowed that the war against corruption will continue without discrimination.
“Some people want the anti-graft body to arrest politicians so that they become political martyrs ahead of the elections,” he was quoted by a private TV channel as saying.
“But the NAB makes arrests on the basis merit in cases under investigation, not on anyone’s wishes,” he added.
He said that the anti-graft body “looks at cases, not the faces” and it had nothing to with the elections.
