Speaking to the media outside the accountability court in Karachi, he asserted that the country cannot function effectively without implementing significant reforms in the system.

He advocated for transferring authority to competent individuals to address the country’s issues.

He stated that no measures were implemented to address the violation of the constitution. If we want to recall the past, we must return to the year 1947.

“The government lacks a public mandate, and this arrangement has been established using the same method previously employed by the founder of the PTI to establish his government,” stated Shahid Khaqan.

According to him, political parties would traditionally establish themselves prior to elections with the aim of accomplishing specified objectives. “We discuss individuals’ issues, political parties have embraced this approach to secure power,” he stated.

“The court inquired about the offence.” The NAB has also stated that no pecuniary benefit was obtained in the case,” he remarked during the case hearing.

After several years of visiting courts, the NAB has been unable to provide any evidence. The previous Prime Minister said that they even neglect to specify which powers were improperly utilised. The former chairman of the NAB is obligated to provide a response for it.

According to him, the NAB has caused significant damage to the national economy.

Regarding his political party, he stated that the party will be established within the upcoming month and individuals from all regions of Pakistan will unite with it.

In an earlier hearing, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) cleared Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, former finance minister Miftah Ismail, Chairman Engro Hussain Dawood, Board member Abdul Samad Dawood, and others of any wrongdoing in the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) issue.

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) retracted the corruption accusation against the ex-prime minister, who has persistently advocated for the elimination of the anti-corruption agency due to allegations of political persecution.

The appointment of SM Turab Hussain was approved during a meeting of the Aitchison Board of Directors, which was headed by Punjab Governor Sardar Saleem Haider.

Ali Ayaz Sadiq, Mustafa Ramday, Ali Pervez, and Khawaja Hassan were present at the meeting. The position of the principal remained unfilled following Michael Thompson’s resignation.

The Aitchison College tuition waiver dispute gained attention in March when Principal Michael Thompson resigned due to alleged political meddling by the family of Federal Minister Ahad Cheema.

Michael Thompson resigned from his position, alleging that the family of Federal Minister Ahad Cheema pressured him to exempt holiday costs.

The Principal of Aitchison College asserted that he refused the request for a fee exemption, nevertheless, the Governor House Secretariat exercised its power to issue a notification granting the waiver.

After Principal Thompson resigned, the then-Punjab Governor, Balighur Rehman, announced that an audit of the principal’s remuneration was launched due to his receipt of a salary of Rs4 million.

Cheema declined to take advantage of the policy and stated in a letter to Punjab Governor Balighur Rehman that Aitchison College Principal Michael Thompson had personally approached him about the issue.

The minister asserted that he had multiple proposals to resolve the issue about his boys’ payments, but he refused to accept any illicit or covert agreement. In addition, Cheema expressed his strong disapproval at the lack of respect shown towards his family during the entire incident.
