As Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Asif was arrested on Tuesday in a case related to assets more than income, Foriegn Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that it is unnatural and inappropriate to link National Accountability Burea (NAB) with PTI.

During a media talk at Press Infromation Dpeartment (PID), Shah Mahmood said NAB itself is an independent body, it has nothing to do with the government.

The Foriegn Minister said that PTI was not involved in the appointment of NAB chairman and the law under which NAB was operating was not made by PTI.

PML-N leader Khawaja Asif was involved in FATF legislation and he predicted that things would create difficulties for him in the coming days, said Qureshi.

He further added that NRO is the name of a relief under the guise of which he wanted to move forward while in every civilized society no one is above the law.

Further targeting the Opposition, the Foriegn Minister added that the alliance of the PDM is unnatural, and is destined to disintegrate.
