Pak Govt asks NAB to postpone wilful default cases against top politicians | Pakistan's National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has reportedly come under immense government pressure not to pursue cases of wilful default of bank loans given to a number of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) stalwarts and some
opposition leaders. According to the Dawn, the NAB was asked to defer a meeting
that was going to review default cases against political stalwarts. "At present,
the government is not interested in any investigation," a source said. Top NAB
officials may meet later this week to decide how to deal with the cases of wilful
default in the light of new government instructions. The list which was presented
before parliament last year includes: Chaudhry Shujaat Husssain, Chaudhry Mansoor
Elahi, former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, Chaudhry Gulzar Mohammad
and Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain. . According to the list, loans of over 191 billion
rupees were written off between1997 and 2009. Recently, the Pakistan Supreme Court
asked the government to submit details of loans waived since 1971. Federal Interior
Minister Rehman Malik on Saturday said the government would implement the apex
court's decision on NRO, and all law-enforcement agencies would comply with the
orders. "The list of bank defaulters will be released soon and a cell will be
set up in the FIA," he said. |
