Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) observed black day against the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) amendment bill saying that the Sharifs have amended the law to nullify the cases against them, reported BOL News.

Imran Khan said amendment in the NAB bill will lead to a No Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) for the looters.

Imran Khan also directed PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry to throw light on the conspiracy behind the amendment adding that the imported government came into power to get NRO II and alleged that the looters are behind the prevailing poverty in the country.

Later, Fawad Chaudhry said that the Sharif family has been gaining benefits by amending the NAB rules.
