PML-N Secretary Information, Marriyum Aurangzeb, while rejecting the NAB's statement, has said that Shehbaz Sharif has answered all of the NAB's queries and has submitted them in writing as well, said a press release issued on Monday.

Marriyum said the PML-N president was not asked any question regarding money laundering and that the bureau was lying.

Marriyum demanded a televised public inquiry of Shehbaz Sharif by the NAB, so that the nation sees "what this circus is all about".

She demanded that Imran Khan and chairman NAB should answer the same question in the televised public inquiry.

She also demanded that Imran should appear before the NAB in the sugar and wheat theft case and the helicopter case.

She said, Shehbaz did not avail any privileges and presented himself to set a precedent for all to follow, despite knowing that all this is part of political victimization.

She said the NAB allegations that started with accusations of billions and trillions worth of corruption have now come down to questions like, why did Shehbaz appear at the hearing on his children's car.

The former information minister said if Shehbaz Sharif can appear before the NAB despite his severe medical condition and vulnerability to Covid-19, why Imran Khan can't appear before the accountability bureau for his countless offenses.

Imran should appear before the NAB in the wheat and sugar theft case; he must present himself before the Election Commission for his foreign funding case and 25 fake accounts case; NAB-Niazi tag team must give the dates to arrest and present before the people the culprits of the Malam Jabba mega corruption and Rs100 billion BRT Peshawar, and in billion tree tsunami corruption.

She said if the heroes of the nation like Nawaz and Shehbaz Sharif can appear before the law why the criminals of the nation who stole their wheat and sugar can't appear.

Shehbaz Sharif's real crime is uncovering and exposing the identity of the true sugar and wheat thieves to the people of Pakistan, and giving protective gear to medics all over the country, she added.

Marriyum said after failing to prove their false accusation regarding Saaf Pani, Ashiyaana, Ganda Naala, 56 Companies and Earthquake funds embezzlement, the PTI regime has fallen back on the age-old tool of political victimization - the asset beyond means.

She questioned the double standards where at one end Shehbaz Sharif and Hamza Shehbaz bear the persecution and appearances before NAB while Imran and his cronies plot way with NAB how to save the sugar and wheat thieves.

She said NAB-Niazi tag team is setting new precedents in history of political victimization. Those who served the country and saved treasury's billions are being called for explanations. While the so-called accountability bureau applauds those who have looted billions and trillions of people's money, she added.

Marriyum said making Shehbaz appear before NAB won't improve Imran's deplorable performance against coronavirus and said he should now focus on the fight against the pandemic. Imran must ensure the provision of protective gear to the doctors and medics, must ensure the relief to the poor and daily wagers.-PR
