ISLAMABAD, MAY 12 (DNA) – Revengeful and politically motivated actions against only one party by NAB before elections amounts to pre-poll rigging and stealing the mandate of the people, therefore the ECP should take notice of it.

This was stated by Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb while speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the three-day Dream Home Expo 2018 at the Pak China Friendship Center here Friday.

She said neither the constitution nor any law allowed licence to shame to any state institution.

She said like the ban imposed on recruitment and development projects before elections, the parliament should stop the state institutions from initiating such actions against the mandate of the people.

She said the Central Executive Committee of the PML (N) while endorsing the stance of former Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had also demanded resignation of the chairman NAB.

Marriyum said for four and half years, NAB was in hibernation and had become active only during the last six months, and regrettably had hurled the accusation of sending money to an enemy country at the thrice elected prime minister on the basis of fake news.
