LAHORE:Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senator Pervaiz Rashid on Monday recorded his statement before the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA),
The FIA has been investigating into the purported videotape(s) in which accountability judge Arshad Malik had allegedly confessed to have convicted former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in the Al-Azizia Mills reference for seven-year imprisonment under pressure.
On strict security measures ahead of his appearance at FIA’s Lahore branch, the senator expressed surprise and asked “why so much security has been set up for him only?”
Talking to media after his appearance before the FIA,he lashed out at the ruling PTI by stating that the government has become “a name of putting political opponents in jails.”
He said, “The FIA is being used as a tool before me other partners were summoned,” adding that the work was being taken from the FIA which doesn’t fall under its jurisdiction.
“That person who had used to say that he wouldn’t give a NRO, has now been giving a NRO to his friends,” he responded, while referring to an amendment made to the National Accountability (Amendment) Ordinance, 2019, promulgated by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government through a presidential ordinance on Friday.
