Summary Sharjeel Memon was detained on Saturday night immediately after his plane landed in Islamabad.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader and former minister Sharjeel Memon, who is facing corruption charges of five billion and 77 crore rupees, has appeared in Islamabad High Court (IHC) today (Monday), reported Dunya News.
PPP leader has gone to court for approval of his transit bail, and has announced to face all the corruption cases that have been filed against him.
Earlier, Sharjeel Memon questioned that why does National Accountability Bureau (NAB) take action only against PPP? Why does it not put names of Sharif family on exit control list (ECL)?
On the other hand, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah has bashed Sharjeel Memon and Sindh government. Rana Sanaullah said that Sharjeel Memon should face the inquiry now.
The law minister said that Sindh government has spent as much as 17 billion rupees in the province, and still no work is done. He said that political opponents should also keep their words in check.
It is pertinent here to mention that Sharjeel Memon was detained on Saturday night immediately after his plane coming from Dubai landed at the Islamabad airport.
He was accompanied by four Sindh ministers Mukesh Chawla, Imdad Pitafi, Fiaz Bhatt and Taimoor Talpoor who strongly condemned the arrest.
Sharjeel Memon was released on Sunday from the custody of NAB after interrogation.
Afterwards, the PPP leader addressed a press conference in the federal capital to clear his stance on NAB’s action against him and branded his detention a ‘kidnapping’.
