ISLAMABAD: While declaring the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) responsible for suicide of ex-CDA official Brig (R) Asad Munir, Deputy Chairman Senate Salim Mandviwalla said the NAB should stop people to harass.
“The facts of suicide will be brought before the people why Brig (R) Asad Munir committed the suicide,” he said while talking to the newsmen here Saturday after visiting the residence of Brig (R) Asad Munir who committed suicide in 2019.
Mandviwalla said the NAB could not stop its struggle against its harassment of the people in the name of the accountability. “I will go to every corner of the country to meet with the victims of the NAB and will also visit the residence of Accountant General (AG) Khurram Hamayun, who had also committed the suicide due to NAB harassment. I had already stated on the floor of the Parliament that not only the Parliament but also everyone is afraid of the NAB,” he said.
