NAB to quiz Amir Muqam over graft charges today

Author: Agencies

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday summoned Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Amir Muqam today (Thursday) in relation to corruption allegations.

Muqam, who is the president of PML-N’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) chapter, is accused of owning assets beyond known sources of income.

Last month, the PML-N leader had sought time to appear before the anti-corruption watchdog over his busy schedule in election campaign.

The bureau had accused Muqam of purchasing properties in Islamabad, Lahore, and Peshawar. According to anti-graft body, the accused had also purchased agricultural land in Swat, Shangla, and Peshawar.

Muqam was first summoned to appear before NAB on July 12, however, he remained absent. The bureau then summoned him for the second time today.
