ISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan People’s Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will appear before the National Accountability Bureau on Thursday (today).

“Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will appear before the NAB despite the fact that the NAB notice to him was only a part of the political victimization, but the PPP chairman believes in the supremacy of the law of the land,” said Senator Mustafa Nawaz Kokhar, spokesman of the PPP chairman, while confirming his appearance before the NAB investigation team probing fake bank accounts scam on Thursday.

The NAB has summoned Bilawal Bhutto Zardari being a Director of Zardari Group and also asked him to bring record of the Zardari Group from 2008 to 2019 on February 13 and record his statement with regard to alleged transfer of over Rs1 billion from the accounts of JV Opel-225. Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar said NAB sent Bilawal a notice just within a week when he protested against anti-people economic policies. He said the NAB sends notice whenever Bilawal criticises government. Khokhar said that Supreme Court has already declared Bilawal Bhutto Zardari innocent. “Now in this background NAB notice is nothing but political victimization,” he said.
