Babar Awan Lambasts At Maryam Nawaz For Pressurizing NAB

Special Assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan Babar Awan has said that Maryam Nawaz is a “convicted” corrupt leader and herself says “come arrest me”.

Speaking to BOL News’ program Tajzia with host Sami Ibrahim, Babar Awan has termed the decision by Islamabad High Court (IHC) about the Chairman Senate much right.

The IHC has on Monday dismissed a reserved judgment on whether the PPP’s petition against the election of the Senate chairman was admissible or not.

Awan further said that the ongoing matters in the parliament “can’t be challenged in court”.

Lambasting further at PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz, he said that no one has the right to interfere in the legal procedure by the anti-corruption watchdog.

“Being forceful to NAB by any means and harassing the institution is totally intolerable,” Babar Awan added. He further said that the penalty for putting pressure on NAB is 10 years.
