Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday accused the National Accountability Bureau of maintaining double standards, saying that the anti-graft watchdog did not conduct inquiries into the projects in which billions of rupees of public money was wasted, but kept innocent people in its detention centres. The prime minister added that with such a display of callousness, the country’s billions of rupees went to waste. Referring to Walton Road, the prime minister said it was the place where thousands of migrants from India took refuge and the locals supported them which renewed the precedent of Ansar-e-Madina. He regretted that the project had hit snags in 2008 when its contract was awarded during the rule of late Pervez Musharraf. About Bab-e-Pakistan, the prime minister said it should be a place from where the young generations and visitors could gain knowledge about the history of Pakistan.
