‘Prove who asked for NRO or apologise,’ Shehbaz assails PM in NA session

ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday fired a broadside at Prime Minister Imran Khan, asking him to explain as to who asked him for a deal like the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO). 

Speaking on the floor of the house, Shehbaz further asked the prime minister to present witnesses to substantiate his claim of opposition politicians seeking an NRO.

“Prime Minister Imran Khan should tender an apology to Parliament if he fails to prove [his claim],” he said, adding that they cannot be intimidated by threats.

He alleged that there is an unholy alliance between NAB and the PTI government.

“The prime minister was a suspect in the helicopter case. On what basis did the NAB chairman meet a suspect,” asked the opposition leader.

He said the prime minister once again resorted to lying by giving a statement with regard to the NRO. “I curse the NRO,” asserted Mr Sharif.

He said the Billion Tree Tsunami, Malam Jabba, and KP Accountability Commission scandals are not hidden from anyone, nor was the Peshawar Metro Bus scam.

NAB has done nothing about these scandals, complained the opposition leader.

He said they won’t allow the PTI government to rule the roost and resolved to stand like a wall in its way.
