According extension to chairman NAB will be unconstitutional: Maryam Nawaz

ISLAMABAD, Oct 06 (Online): PML-N senior leader Maryam Nawaz has said according extension to chairman NAB in his service is illegal and it is hoped the extension will be rejected by the court.

“ the institutions of Pakistan are strength of the country. But if some one uses the institution to serve his personal interest then he does no service to the institution”, she said this talking to media men out side Islamabad High Court (IHC) here Wednesday.

Allegations were leveled against me prior to election and I want to provide its details to the nation, she remarked.

Justice Shaukat Siddiqui video is on the record. He also filed his affidavit with his signature in Supreme Judicial Council. I want to place it before the nation, she added. Certain people not only instituted case against me and but also assured that I would be punished and no such bench is constituted which grants bail to Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz before 2018 election.

Had we been granted bail then their two years efforts would have been wasted, she held. Their two years effort was this that one elected Prime Minister (PM) should be presented before the JIT in Panama case. Later he was ousted on Aqama instead of Panama. Where is JIT, NAB and Panama bench today on Pandora leaks. Then PML leaders were asked to part ways with the party. Those who did not accept their order they were punished. Cases were registered against them.

It was first time in the history of Pakistan that NAB approved reference without consultation, she observed. I know the compulsions of media. Media can not run my statement. Some wrote Maryam Nawaz tried to defame the institution. Some people wrote in press Maryam Nawaz attacked the institution. The armed forces and institutions should be beyond any conflict and doubt. Institution is of the country and not of one man. But if one man tries to hide behind the institution then he has no reply to transgress his powers. The moves of an individual should not linked to institution.

I and my father were kept in jail in Panama case, she said adding one elected PM had to appear before JIT in false scandal of Panama. Attempts were made to weaken PML-N.

The extension in chairman NAB service will be unconstitutional and based on malafide intent . We hope court will reject the petition about extension in the service of chairman NAB. A deal has been struck that you will initiate proceedings against my rivals and I will give you extension.
