ISLAMABAD: Chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Javed Iqbal said on Thursday that NAB has no affiliation with anyone except with Pakistan,
In a media talk after attending the Public Accounts Committee session, NAB chief said the anti-graft watchdog has nothing to do with the political engineering. Commenting on any amendment in the NAB law, he urged for an amend in the national interest and not in the personal interest of someone.
