Pakistan People’s Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on Thursday that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s remarks against the harassment of government officers and innocent persons at the hands of NAB officials shouldn’t be mere eyewash as the attempts to paralyse Sindh government through conducting raids in its offices and arrests of officers remain the prime examples crossing the constitutional limits.

“The NAB, the FIA and some other federal agencies have been targeting a single province, its government and officials in violation of rules since few months but Nawaz Sharif’s ministers defended the onslaught and invasions vehemently,” pointed out the PPP chairman in a press statement issued on Thursday.

He said the PPP always supported across the board accountability without the sacred cow syndrome within the constitutional parameters formulated for every institutions. However, the NAB and the FIA, which was under the control of Nawaz Sharif cabinet jumped beyond their domains in Sindh province and ventured to paralyse working of some departments of the provincial government, he added.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari further said that the process of accountability had always been used as a victimization tool against the PPP in the past while its opponents remained untouched who flourished like mushrooms under the patronage of anti-democratic forces.

He stressed that the country needed accountability on vertical and horizontal basis with undoing the sacred cow syndrome instead of holding hostage the political prisoners and grinding them for political purposes.

The PPP chairman said that all the parliamentary parties should be taken onboard to remove the loopholes from accountability laws so that innocent and honest people were not victimised for their political affiliations besides safeguarding the provincial autonomy guaranteed by the constitution.
