Shah said that the opposition has not shown any reservations regarding Iqbal’s appointment.

“Four meetings were held with the members of the opposition and government to finalise the name for the appointment of NAB chairman,” he explained.

He praised Justice (r) Javed Iqbal for his services as the head of Abbottabad Inquiry Commission and added that he has a clean past.

“Iqbal possesses valuable judgement skills,” he said.
