It may be noted that Senate deputy chairman Saleem Mandviwalla had earlier said he would never let the business community be victimized by NAB.

Mandviwalla, while talking to media earlier today, alleged the accountability watchdog is violating human rights and referred to a Chinese diplomat who shared reservations over NAB saying there will be no business deals until NAB’s part is ruled out.

It is high time the business community stood up against this to get rid of such violations and degradation by NAB once and for all, the deputy chairman said.

He rhetorically remarked that now, Prime Minister’s aide on accountability, Shahzad Akbar will tell parliamentarians on how to run the parliament.
