Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf has written a letter to the chief justice of Pakistan requesting him to form a judicial commission to probe into the rental power scam.
In his letter, the prime minister offered himself for open accountability in the rental power case and requested setting up of a commission headed by Shoaib Suddle to inquire into the rental power case.
Ashraf further said that, “This [case] is propaganda against me. I have put myself forward for investigations.”
He said adverse propaganda had been done against him in this case which also brought a bad name to the state.
The prime minister said his politics was for the welfare of the people and he had never tried to influence NAB.
PM Ashraf was given the title of Raja Rental after he was accused of receiving kickbacks in the rental power projects. He was also accused of buying property in London from money earned through corruption in various scams.
He has been defending himself in the Supreme Court.
