The PPP has said that the news of withdrawal of the NAB cases against the PPP leadership is false and part of the disinformation campaign launched by the regime. In a press statement issued on Friday.
The spokesman said that the PPP has long held the view that national resources are being squandered on the pursuit of a witch-hunt against the PPP leadership for more than a decade while the poverty graph has been increasing in the country.
He added that PPP is of the view that the witch-hunt against it is to divert attention from the corruption that is rampant in the country for which the PPP has filed several references and the Supreme Court has also ruled in the case of the Steel Mills.
However, as part of a disinformation campaign that has been launched against the PPP, a section of the press reported that the National Accountability Bureau's (ANB) Special Operation Wing, has been wound up and that the officer in Charge of the Wing had been transferred to Punjab and somehow concluded through a leap of imagination that this meant that the cases against the PPP leadership had been withdrawn.
What it failed to mention was that the Special Operations Wing was formed to accommodate the man who was the sidekick of disgraced Senator Saif ur Rahman former Chairman NAB who had switched sides and was instrumental in the rigging of the elections of 2002 in the Punjab.
When the elections were over, the Special Operations Wing was formed to accommodate the said officer. However, the cases against the PPP leadership predated the creation of the Special Operations wing and continue after it has been wound up and the officer sent back to the Punjab (perhaps with the view to rig the elections of 2007).
He has been appointed as principal secretary to the Governor Punjab who is another former intelligence General who was appointed to NAB before being made Governor of the Punjab. The PPP calls for the NAB to end its politically motivated persecution against the PPP leadership. Having failed to establish any of the multifarious allegations, the NAB should wind up the investigations and save the Nation the huge amounts in the future that it has squandered in the past.
The regime wants to create a perception of understanding with PPP while using the government machinery to undermine the PPP. The PPP is confident that its supporters see through the game. Moreover, if and when any understanding had been reached with the regime, the PPP would make it known.-PR
