NAB reopens LNG case against ex-PM Abbasi

Author: NNI

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Thursday reopened the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) case against former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and decided to summon him for investigation.

The anti-corruption watchdog might also summon other former officials of Petroleum Ministry and asked relevant departments to submit record of the case.

It might be mentioned that the anti-graft body had blamed two former prime ministers Nawaz Sharif and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi for alleged misuse of authorities by giving a contract of LNG terminal to 15 different companies of their choice.

The NAB had taken the action just a week after the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government completed its five-year term and handed over the reins of power to the caretaker set-up.
