PML-N, PPP reject appointment of ex-SC judge to head Broadsheet inquiry

The PML-N and PPP on Friday rejected the government's move to appoint retired Supreme Court judge Azmat Saeed Sheikh as head of the Broadsheet inquiry committee, citing his past affiliation with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) as creating a "conflict of interest".

"Handing over investigations to those who should [themselves] be investigated is the murder of justice. [Prime Minister] Imran Khan, have the courage to tell the nation you need a NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance)," said PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb.
