Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) directed the National Accountability (NAB) chairman Tuesday to hold inquiry against former chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Zaka Ashraf on the complaint Islam Khan, senior vice president (SVP) of Zarai Traqiati Bank Limited (ZTBL).
Islam Khan had filed complaint against recently sacked Zaka Ashraf from the post of chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board who also remained ZTBL chairman, in the Human Rights Cell and in the NAB.
Earlier, the Supreme Court and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) were requested to probe alleged corruption charges against Zaka Ashraf, former President Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited (ZTBL) and PCB.
The SVP had lodged the complaint requesting investigations into the former president’s foreign bank accounts, besides others.
According to the complainant, Zaka Ashraf was only a matriculate and got Islamabad Club’s membership showing himself as a graduate also that his degree was proven fake in the Islamabad High Court.
The complainant alleged that Zaka Ashraf was involved in corruption of billions of rupees and the matter should be investigated through the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the NAB.
As the ZTBL president, he also appointed more than 1,000 persons illegally and purely on political basis ignoring the merit, the complaint alleged. The complainant also alleged that as PCB Chairman, he also appointed 68 persons on lucrative salaries, majority of whom did not relate to the posts.
Islam Khan requested the NAB to initiate inquiry against Zaka Ashraf and other responsible officials, including ZTBL’s Executive Vice President (EVP) (Legal) Chaudhry Imtiaz and EVP (Recovery) Khalid Mehmood Gill for causing losses to the bank.
It must be confessed that the question of ‘the man who would be king’ in Pakistan has never really been settled so far in a mutually acceptable spirit of accommodation and democratic norms by the principal players.
