[The bureau] has no need to interfere in politics or elections, it has no need to carry out vengeful activities [against anyone].”He said all would face accountability or there would be no accountability. He said it was a first that those in power were facing accountability. One chief minister is facing inquiry, while two ministers would face it after elections.He lamented that the Corrupt were being welcomed. He said the “Mughal era” was over, and the flight of billions out of Pakistan would have to be explained.Iqbal dismissed the allegations against the anti-graft body as “baseless” and said the bureau receives approximately 250 complaints against corruption every day. “Accountability will be from the top, and it will be indiscriminate.
