Opposition members started getting NAB notices after filing no-trust motion: Shahid

ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and senior Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday said since the opposition’s filing no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan, their members had started receiving notices from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

“Interference in the no-confidence motion is not a chairman NAB’s job. The accountability is being ridiculed in the country. Our members are being pressurised in the process of accountability as some of them received notices after the no-trust motion,” Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said talking to media in Islamabad.

The government which took to streets was already doomed, he said. You must bring one million people to the D-chowk, but they could not stop the no-confidence motion, he said adding that the government’s days were numbered.

Meanwhile, Sindh Minister for Labour, Information and Human Resources Saeed Ghani on Tuesday said in few days, Prime Minister Imran Khan would be called former prime minister.

“The government believes that it is going out. There is no need for international conspiracy against Imran Khan as he is an incompetent man. Pakistan’s enemies are fond of incompetent rulers like Imran Khan,” Saeed Ghani said talking to media in Karachi.

He said the ruling party would face a tragic defeat, if the voting was held according to the constitution. The one who used to say that he would make the opposition cry, was himself crying today, he said. No allied party was supporting the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) government, he said adding that the allied parties heard them, took tea and said they would think about it.
