ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau on Wednesday refuted the allegations leveled by the senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Ahsan Iqbal stating that NAB Chairman Justice (retd) Javaid Iqbal has left the country.

In a written statement, the institution said that a propaganda is being done against the chairman and called the narratives being perpetuated in the media as ‘baseless’. “NAB Chairman is affirmed in his vision to eradicate corruption from the country,” the statement added.

The institution further said that those who are leveling allegations against NAB should prove their innocence in the court of law.

Speaking to the media after appearing in an accountability court, Ahsan Iqbal announced to move the court to get the name of the NAB chairman on the Exit Control List as he wants to flee from the country. The PML-N leader said that they will hold the NAB chairman accountable for forming fake cases against the masses.
