LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq has said that to put NAB on the right track and to restore the people’s confidence in it, it is imperative that all political parties agree to appoint a person of impeccable character as its chairman.
He was talking to different delegations at his constituency Samar Bagh in Dir on Thursday.
Sirajul Haq said that in the prevailing situation, NAB’s responsibilities had increased two fold and in the coming days, it would have to deal with hundreds of more cases as had been lying totally neglected.
He said that although NAB was required to play the leading role in the elimination of corruption, he said that almost all intuitions including the Supreme Court had expressed total dissatisfaction over NAB’s performance, as the apex court had even termed it as facilitator of the corrupt.
However, he expressed the hope that things would improve in future, the country’s economy and the democratic system would strengthen. He said that JI’s drive against corruption had created an awakening among the masses and they would not tolerate corrupt rulers anymore.
