LAHORE: (UrduPoint/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-July 30th, 2020) Pakistan could not go ahead with the existing laws of National Accountability Bureau (NAB), said PML-N leader and former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi here on Thursday.

“We are not accepting these amendments in NAB laws,” said the former premier, pointing out that the ministers also acknowledged that the NAB with existing laws was an hurdle in the way of the country’s progress.
