Shahbaz Sharif fears arrest of NAB again

 Opposition leader Shahbaz Sharif has filed an application in the Lahore High Court (LHC) seeking interim bail to avoid arrest in a case of money laundering and assets in excess of his income. There is a fear of being arrested in the pending inquiry. I have been declaring all the assets regularly. The NAB has made a case of assets in excess of income on the basis of malice. Shahbaz Sharif filed the petition through Amjad Pervez Advocate

The petition states that he started his business as a businessman in 1972 and played an important role in the agriculture, sugar and textile industries. He entered politics in 1988 for the betterment of the society. Due to the political influence of the present government, the NAB launched an inquiry in which the allegations made by the NAB are of a general nature. He was arrested in the same case in 2018. He had also fully cooperated with the NAB.

Shahbaz Sharif, while questioning the NAB in the petition, said that during the arrest in 2018, the NAB did not present a single piece of evidence of abuse of power. NAB cannot exercise its power in a case in which there is no evidence. Allegations of laundering are also baseless
