Toshakhana reference: NAB court to indict Asif Zardari, Gillani on Sept 9

An accountability court on Monday ruled that former president Asif Ali Zardari and former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gillani will be indicted in the Toshakhana reference on Sept 9.

Accountability Judge Asghar Ali halted the process to declare former prime minister Nawaz Sharif a proclaimed offender over his perpetual absence from the court’s proceedings in the case until Aug 25 after he was informed that the PML-N supreme leader’s arrest warrants have been challenged in the IHC.

The accountability court also summoned Omni Group owner Anwar Majeed and his son Abdul Ghani Majeed, named in the case, to appear on next hearing on Sept 9 for indictment and directed all accused to furnish a surety bond of Rs2 million each.

Wearing a face mask and face shield as part of measures to keep coronavirus at bay, the former president turned up in court as Accountability Judge Asghar Ali resumed hearing the case.

Over the course of the hearing, Zardari’s lawyer Farooq H Naek complained to the judge that they had considerable difficulty reaching court because of police erecting barriers and setting up check posts on all roads leading to it.

At this, the accountability judge said he too faced hardships while reaching court as he was stopped at a check post after which he had to take a u-turn, using an alternative route to reach there. He said he would take up the issue with the administration so as to prevent such a situation in future.

PPP chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, his sister Aseefa Bhutto and some party leaders also reached the accountability court to show solidarity with the former president. The party leadership had directed its members of the Parliament and People’s Lawyers Forum to reach Islamabad.

As part of stringent security measures, police blocked all roads leading to court by placing barriers and barbed wire. Some party leaders and supporters complained of being denied access to the court.

The accountability court had summoned the former president to appear before it today. Asif Ali Zardari reached Islamabad from Karachi on Sunday as the People’s Party decided to show its political muscle during the hearing of the case.

Former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gillani has been granted exemption from appearance in hearing of the reference.

Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who has also been named in the reference, challenged his summoning by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in the Toshakhana reference in the Islamabad High Court (IHC).

What questions will NAB ask Hanif Abbasi? Details surfaced

Politicians from the opposition and ruling party, as well as government officials, have been summoned to appear before the anti-corruption National Accountability Bureau in Lahore on Monday.

Those called in for questioning include the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Muhammad Hanif Abbasi, Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s cousin Mohsin Latif, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s leader and member of the Punjab assembly.

Ghazanfar Abbas Chheena, PTI’s member of the national assembly Malik Karamat Khokhar, the former principal secretary to chief minister Punjab Raheel Ahmed Siddiqui, ex-parliamentarian and nazim Majid Zahoor and the former councilor Ameer Gujjar.

Hanif Abbasi

The Bureau is probing Hanif Abbasi in an alleged corruption case related to the Sports Board Punjab.

A notice sent earlier by NAB reads: “The inquiry proceedings have revealed that you are in possession of information/evidence which relates to the commission of the said offence.

You are advised that failing to comply with this notice may entail penal consequences as provided in Section 2 of the schedule of National Accountability Ordinance 1999.”

The 20 questions sent to Abbasi inquire about his meeting on January 4, 2017, with the former chief minister of Punjab Shehbaz Sharif and the purpose of setting up a Project Management Unit in the Sports Board.

In one question, NAB asks why did the PML-N leader put pressure on the chief minister and other board members to form the Unit?

Other questions probe the legal status of the Unit. “What was his role in the projects started under the PMU?” the questionnaire asks, “Why was no action taken against the authorities who did not complete projects on time? Did you take any legal or departmental action against the incompetent authorities of the PMU or not?”

The Bureau is also looking into a case against Abbasi of allegedly initiating 66 projects all at once.

Mohsin Latif

The PML-N leader and Maryam Nawaz’s cousin Mohsin Latif had been called by NAB Lahore in connection to an endowment land scandal. The former chief minister of Punjab, Shehbaz Sharif, and officers of the Lahore Development Authority have also been made part of the inquiry.

Raheel Ahmed Siddiqui and others

The former principal secretary to Punjab’s chief minister, Raheel Ahmed Siddiqui, has been asked by the bureau to fill a questionnaire and submit it before the court.

While the ex-nazim Majid Zahoor and former councilor Ameer Gujjar have been summoned by NAB in an inquiry related to alleged corruption in handing over land ownership rights to people at Katchi Abadi Shah Shams, GOR-I.
