Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Punjab President Mian Manzoor Ahmed Wattoo on Monday said the federal government was using National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for ‘seeking revenge’ from its political opponents.
Addressing a press conference in Model Town, the senior PPP leader said the cases against former president Asif Ali Zardari were meant for ‘exacting political retribution’ against the PPP leader. He added that the former president would be acquitted from all these cases. The senior leader also said that the Punjab government was employing measures to rig the province’s local government elections. Wattoo further said that the PPP would not allow the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz-led administration at the centre to sell government-run institutions for peanuts.
