NAB fails to decide about assets inquiry against Wassan

KARACHI: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has failed
to decide about the ongoing assets inquiry against Pakistan People’s Party
(PPP) senior leader Manzoor Wassan.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has failed in filing references
against the PPP stalwart despite the passage of two years.

At the outset of the hearing, the SHC bench asked the NAB prosecutor that on
the last hearing we were told about the closure of the inquiry against
Manzoor Wassan, where is the report?

No decision about the fate of the inquiry against Manzoor Wassan yet as the
matter is still pending with the NAB headquarters, the graft-buster body’s
prosecutor informed the SHC bench.

Later, the court adjourned the hearing of the case until February 25.

According to the NAB, the PPP leader is accused of making assets beyond his
known sources of income and owns benami properties too.

Talking to newsmen after appearing before the court, Manzoor Wassan said the
next three months are important and something is about to happen.

The PPP stalwart said the next three months are important for the incumbent
government and the opposition. He also claimed that the minus-one formula is
also on the cards. -Agencies
