LARKANA: Senate Chairman Raza Rabbani, while talking to mediamen on Sunday in Garhi Khuda Bux, said  that National Accountability Bureau (NAB) law has completely failed to deliver.

“The accountability of all people, including politicians and bureaucrats, should be under one law, and there should also be one court to deal with these issues,” he said.

Rabbani said that National Accountability Commission should be established and all stakeholders should be members of its board of directors. He said accountability courts should be under high courts to make the process transparent.

He said that he wrote an open letter a few days back, in which he talked in detail about the new system, the copy of which had also been sent to the parliamentary committee looking into NAB law.

To a question, Rabbani replied that when the 18th Amendment of the Constitution was passed, both PPP and PML-N had supported the formation of caretaker government for holding  general elections, adding that the caretaker government’s work should be confined to holding free, fair and elections but not make long term economic agreements with IMF and other agencies.

He said the national security policy should be reviewed by the parliament, adding Pakistan’s foreign policy should also be debated and reviewed in parliament. “All important decisions must also be made in parliament instead of APCs.”

Rabbani said that the 4th April incident happened in Pakistan through an international conspiracy when ZAB Bhutto was ‘judicially murdered’.

Bhutto gathered all Muslim Ummah by holding Lahore summit; using oil as an economic tool for the welfare of Muslim nation was the main cause of ‘judicial murder’ of Bhutto. He said all popular leaders of that era, including Nasir, Sukarno, Bomadiyan and Bhutto, were one by one removed to create instability.  He said that opponents of Bhutto had totally failed to find any corruption charge against him because he made all decisions on merit.

Rabbani was accompanied by PPP leader Waqar Mehdi, the commissioner and local PPP activists.
