Casting serious doubts on the intentions of the PTI-led government, the country’s two major opposition parties — PML-N and PPP — have rejected the third amendment in the NAB Ordinance.
Opposing the move, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has given himself and his government an NRO through the new amendment in NAB Ordinance.
IK has given himself & his govt an NRO through the 3rd amendment in NAB Ordinance. If there was any doubt about how NAB-Niazi nexus has operated to victimize Opposition parties, this amendment is clear manifestation of wicked mindset. Sheer political vendetta https://t.co/bQI7sqqsdQ

Talking to Twitter, the PML-N leader said, “If there was any doubt about how NAB-Niazi nexus has operated to victimize Opposition parties, this amendment is a clear manifestation of wicked mindset.”
He termed the new amendment in the NAB ordinance as “sheer political vendetta”.
PPP senior leader and former chairman Senate Mian Raza Rabbani also rejected the promulgation of the NAB’s third amendment ordinance.
The PPP leader Tuesday said that the new ordinance will pave the way for ‘selective’ accountability, adding that the NAB has now become an attached department of the executive as its head can be removed by the executive.
Through this Ordinance, he said the government has ensured that non-transparent accountability of the opposition continues.
