LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif is scheduled to appear before National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Monday in connection with Ashiana Housing scheme case and Punjab Power Development case.

The former Chief Minister (CM) Punjab is facing charges of awarding the contract of the housing scheme by surpassing merit.

According to the reports, he has been summoned in Ashiana-e-Iqbal housing scheme because the former principal secretary Fawad Hassan had made revelations earlier when NAB had investigated him.
