ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Rawalpindi has summoned the PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on December 24 in a fake bank accounts scam regarding Joint Venture Opel-225.
According to NAB sources, Bilawal was summoned being a director of Zardari Group. Sources said Bilawal was summoned to record his statement with regard to alleged transfer of over Rs1 billion from the accounts of JV Opel-225.
It is to be mentioned here that before this, Bilawal was summoned in Park Lane Ltd case few months back.
Senator Mustafa Nawaz Kokhar, spokesman for Bilawal, confirmed that the PPP chairman has received the NAB notice.
“The chief justice had already remarked in the open court that Bilawal was innocent in this case and NAB’s act of sending notice is subjective to a political harassment,” he said.
He said whenever the government comes into crisis political victimisation of the political opponents starts through the NAB.
Kokhar asked the NAB to tell that how many notices it has sent to government ministers and ruling party legislators. He also asked from the NAB to tell that why the cases against the cabinet members and ruling party legislators were pending and were not taken up for investigations.
