He added that around 80 to 90 people had attacked his house early in the morning and whisked away his personal staff to some undisclosed location. “I served as minister for 16 occasions. I am ready to appear in person [before NAB or any other body] if corruption is found in these 16 ministries.”
Mr Rashid said how an ordinary person could survive if there wasn’t rule of law and constitution in the country, urging the chief justice to take notice of the situation as, according to the AML head, great injustices were being committed in the country.
