ISLAMABAD: Former
opposition leader in National Assembly and senior leader of Pakistan People’s Party Syed
Khursheed Shah Friday opposed the
opposition parliamentarians’ desire of
meeting National Accountability Bureau
chairman Justice (R) Javed Iqbal and advised them to
avoid meeting him.“It will not be a proper step to meet
chairman NAB as he only acts per law. The
opposition should amend law instead of
meeting him, if we have majority in the Parliament,” he said while responding to questions regarding the
opposition parliamentarians desire to meet NAB
chairman which they have expressed through their letter to the
chairman and have expressed their concerns of what they called a selective accountability of the opposition.Khursheed Shah said it would not be fruitful to discuss who was responsible for the NAB law. He further said the
chairman have authority which was given to him by the Parliament through legislation.He said it was not proper for the parliamentarians to go to meet the NAB
chairman as through this act, Parliament’s respect and supremacy will be undermined and it would be better that any committee of the parliament summons
chairman NAB and hold in-camera briefing. “The Parliament will lose its respect if the parliamentarians went to meet the NAB chairman,” he added.
