Imran slams NAB for giving clean chit to Pak Finance minister
Islamabad, July 17 (ANI): Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has criticised the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for giving a clean chit to Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in a money laundering case. In a statement released yesterday, Khan expressed concern over some recent decisions of the NAB and appealed to the chief justice of Pakistan to intervene. "If NAB and other offices had been doing their job today, money laundering would have stopped completely. NAB has badly failed to fulfil its job. Initially, NAB included Mr Dar's name in 179 cases of corruption and submitted the list in the Supreme Court," Dawn quoted him as saying. He demanded that NAB should inform that what kind of steps it took during the last 15 years to prove the case or it just wasted money from the exchequer. "It is not understandable that how a case, which is already being heard in the court, can be closed. There is already unrest in the country because of Panama Papers leaks. Giving a clean chit to Ishaq Dar should be quite embarrassing for NAB," he added. The NAB gave a clean chit to Dar in over Rs130 billion corruption case after 15-year investigation. (ANI)

MEA rejects Pakistan’s statement on India-Canada deal

"We reject this statement made by Pakistan on the matter. India's credentials regarding non-proliferation are impeccable and well recognised by the global community. A country with a well-documented history of clandestine nuclear proliferation can hardly preach the virtues of export controls and proliferation risks. Such ludicrous statements are nothing more than an attempt by Pakistan to distract from its own abysmal record," he said.
