"Let me spell it out. NAB was a witch-hunt outfit, not an anti-corruption agency. They wanted us to go after their political enemies. We said "No". We are an anti-corruption outfit. We found stolen money. They sacked us. The court agreed with us! NAB was a conspiracy to defraud!" Moussavi said in a tweet on Tuesday.
The development becomes significant as it comes at a time when Pakistan's ruling PTI government led by Imran Khan is set to face a no-confidence motion on Friday.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said that he will not "resign under any circumstances" ahead of the no-confidence vote.
"No one should be under the false impression that I will sit at home. I will not resign, and why should I? Should I resign due to the pressure from thieves?" he stressed.
He also reiterated that he had good relations with the military to date, reported Geo News. (ANI)
