NAB sources informed that Shoro illegally sold 19 Karachi Development Authority plots using his influence as the local government minister.

However, Nasir Shah is intransigent that his comrade was not involved in any graft activity. He said the PPP was being victimised.

“Whether they are current NAB officers or previous ones, their pattern of executing work is the same. We will confront the allegations. We have full trust in the judiciary,” he said.

The minister said those were involved in the incident of October 18 who murdered former prime minister Benazir Bhutto.

To a query, he said the PPP never disassociated with its people. He said all the matters including  of Uzair Baloch were part of the conspiracy.
