A NAB prosecutor requested the bench to gave him some time to go through her response and file a rejoinder. Granting his request, the court adjourned further hearing of the case for an indefinite period.
In her six-page reply, the PML-N vice president stated that the NAB summoned her for questioning in the case after a gap of 14 months. She alleged that NAB actions are aimed at stifling opposition leaders’ voice.
