ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Hussain Chaudhry on Tuesday said the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was insulting Prime Minister Imran Khan by pursuing the helicopter case against him.
Talking to host Hamid Mir in Geo News show 'Capital Talk', the minister emphasised that the case against the prime minister should be quashed, as the world was laughing at the anti-graft body for pursuing the case against the prime minister.
He said the prime minister was not formally charged in the case and pursuing the case against him was an insult to the system of Pakistan and the prime minister himself. He wondered how a case could be initiated against the prime minister for just boarding a helicopter provided by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government for inaugurating projects in the province.
The minister insisted that cases against the Leader of Opposition Shahbaz Sharif were not an insult to him. “We have no grudge against anyone,” he made it clear. Fawad said people facing charges of killing 16 people had been chief minister and added it were the political representatives, who faced disqualification or otherwise.
About the resignation of Minister for Science and Technology Muhammad Azam Swati, the minister clarified that he had tendered his resignation on the Supreme Court orders, which had not been accepted.
