Nawaz Sharif in London for another NRO, says Imran

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan alleged on Tuesday that ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif wants another National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) in his favour so that he can avoid being convicted for money laundering.

“He [Nawaz] is desperate for NRO to avoid conviction on money laundering and save his Rs300 billion stashed abroad from being frozen,” Imran tweeted while labeling it as a ‘London Plan’ by the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).

The PTI chief further said that by leaving Pakistan for London, Nawaz wants to retain control over his party and call the shots from abroad. “[Nawaz will] malign NAB, judiciary and military to pressure them for another NRO,” he said.

Nawaz Sharif re-elected PML-N president

Nawaz had left for London to meet his ailing wife on August 30, 2017. He was earlier expected to return to Pakistan on October 23 to attend court proceedings, but those plans changed and he proceeded to Saudi Arabia. Later, there were suggestions from party officials that he would fly back by October 25 to attend the previous accountability court hearing, but that plan was also scrapped.

The PML-N chief has now announced his return on November 2 and is likely to appear before the accountability court on November 3.

Imran in his tweets also criticised PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, saying that he is rapidly reducing Pakistan to a banana republic.

“[PM Abbasi] is playing poodle to a discredited Nawaz Sharif and retaining fugitive from justice as finance minister,” he tweeted.

Censuring the former prime minister, Imran said ‘Nawaz has no concern how much damage he does to the nation to save his ill-gotten money outside Pakistan’.

K-Electric fined Rs2 mn over weak power supply system

ISLAMABAD: The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) on Wednesday imposed a fine of Rs2 million on the K-Electric. According to a statement issued by the power regulatory authority, the K-Electric was penalized over non-compliance of performance standards, particularly its failure to restore power supply within the prescribed time frame and to ensure the safety of public in Karachi. Quoting media reports, it said large swathes of Karachi remained without electricity due to the tripping of almost 700 feeders during rainy weather in June last year, which resulted in long power blackouts ranging from 24 hours to 48 hours in almost 50% areas of Karachi. Further, there were also reports of fatal injuries to some people owing to electrocution. The Nepra took notice of the situation in Karachi and directed the K-Electric to immediately provide a detailed report on the tripping of feeders and electrocution incidents along with preventive and corrective steps taken by K-Elec...

Accountability court hears assets case against Ishaq Dar

ISLAMABAD: An accountability court in Islamabad on Wednesday resumed the hearing of a reference filed against former finance minister Ishaq Dar by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for allegedly accumulating assets beyond his known sources of income.  Judge Muhammad Bashir is recording the statement of a prosecution witness, Ishtiaq Ahmed. At the previous hearing, the accountability judge had reserved his verdict on an application filed by two co-accused seeking acquittal in the case. Naeem Mehmood and Mansoor Rizvi, who are directors of Dar’s companies, had filed the application requesting the judge to exonerate them from all charges for want of evidence.
