LAHORE: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Justice (r) Javed Iqbal on Wednesday said that the anti-graft watchdog has no relation with any political party but its commitment is only with the state of Pakistan.
The NAB chairman visited the Lahore office of the bureau where he was given a detailed briefing on mega-corruption cases.
Addressing the meeting attended by the investigation officers and prosecutors, he said that the anti-graft watchdog is performing its duties according to the law, adding that the investigation officers take the investigations to a logical end against corrupt elements on the basis of concrete evidence.
Justice (r) Iqbal said that the sole aim of NAB is to recover looted money from corrupt elements while taking the corrupt elements to justice. He said that the anti-graft watchdog believes in taking care of everybody’s respect and more facilities are being provided to the accused than suggested in the jail manual.
The NAB chief went on to say that the anti-graft agency does not believe in any kind of torture, adding that the investigations into white-collar crime are based on concrete evidence for which the bureau’s officers are given regular courses.
