Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif will appear before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in assets beyond means case today.

The bureau had directed him to appear on July 5 at 2:00 pm along with relevant documents.

He will likely be questioned about his and sons’ assets.

Following the NAB summons, the PML-N leader called a meeting of legal experts to consult them about the matter.

His son and Punjab Assembly’s opposition leader Hamza Shehbaz and others are already under arrest in the case. Previously, Shahbaz Sharif was summoned in the assets beyond means case on April 8.

The former Punjab chief minister is currently facing two corruption references filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

One of the two cases pertained to the Ashiana Iqbal Housing scheme case wherein he was accused of misusing his authority to illegally issue directives for cancellation of a contract with regard to the housing project in 2014, causing Rs715m loss to the exchequer.
