Govt to bring amendment to NAB laws in case of non-cooperation from opposition: Farogh

ISLAMABAD (92 News) - The government will bring ordinance on an amendment to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) laws if the opposition parties don't cooperate. "The amendment to the NAB laws is need of the hour as it will bring positive change," said Law and Justice Minister Barrister Farogh Naseem on Saturday. Talking to host  Shazia Ikraam in News Night program of 92 News, he said opposition parties floated suggestion to fix time frame for NAB cases, adding prosecution couldn't be executed twice on one case. Naseem said there should be no compromise over the accountability process, adding NAB should not be used as weapon to intimidate and harass anyone. He said he suggested to the prime minister that bureaucrats should replace ministers in the plea-bargain committee. The minister said the president of Pakistan has to decide himself if deadlock persists over the appointment of Election Commission members as law is silent over this matter. To a question, he said neither he not any member of his ministry sent WhatsApp message to any judge. Naseem further said he never ever discussed any case with any judge.
