Summary Babar says Presidency is not involved in partisan political activity.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The Presidential spokesperson Farhatullah Babar has dismissed all allegations of former Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif that the Presidency was behind any move to declare him as a loan defaulter.
In a statement, he said that NAB is an independent institution under the law and was not under any obligation to take directions from the Presidency.
The Presidency has nothing to do with any information that NAB may or may not give to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) under the law. Any insinuation that seems to drag the Presidency into election related partisan issues is unfortunate and uncalled for, the statement added.
Babar said the Presidency is not involved in partisan political activity and its only interest and concern is that free and fair elections are held in a level playing field in which voters are able to elect who they wished to see as their representatives.
