Islamabad

Corruption is the main challenge Pakistan is facing at present, it is a curse which is considered to be a main hurdle in the progress of any country, says a press release.

China is the best friend of Pakistan has set an example in front of us, it progressed with a national spirit, struggled and brought the level of corruption to the lowest ebb.

We for the eradication of corruption and to ensure transparency in CPEC have signed an agreement with China under which the two countries will benefit from the expertise of each other to eradicate the menace of corruption.

Pakistan is a developing country for which the eradication of corruption has become the voice of whole nation for its development. The present NAB Chairman, Javed Iqbal considered elimination of corruption as the top priority and for this purpose adopted ‘zero tolerance policy’. He is determined to not entertain any pressure and in line with the merit, witness and law will retrieve the looted money from plunderers to deposit in the national exchequer.

NAB chairman is an honest, dutiful, professional man who keeps in view law and merit in his day to day duties. He has professional, experienced and blotless career at his credit in the past. He was born in 1946. He served as Sessions Judge Quetta, Chief Justice Balochistan High Court, Acting Chief Justice of Supreme Court of Pakistan, Chairman Press Council and Chairman of Abbottabad Commission and has not taken Rs7.1 million compensation from the commission.

Currently, he is the chairman of Disappeared Persons Commission (DPC). Through his continuous hard work and personal interest, 2700 people were discovered and are now with their families.

Talking on the success of DPC, his face reflects utmost satisfaction and self confidence, he has firm belief on Almighty Allah and his Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) hence he never disappoints but glitter is reflected on his face which shows that he is serving the DPC as continuous ‘sadqa’ because whoever meets his family due to efforts of Justice Javed Iqbal, the family of discovered persons always prays for him; by hearing the prayers Justice Javed Iqbal feels pleasure and happiness. He used to thank Almighty Allah for granting him this very opportunity and then he starts working round the clock with renewed dedication and devotion.

It is all due to their prayers that Al Mighty Allah has made him Chairman DPC and all parties have a consensus on this. The parties did recognize his honesty, professional sound experience and numerous God gifted characteristics and are seen to do so. He thanks Allah for his new appointment but resolves also to kick off “Accountability for all” as he had initiated “Justice for all” when he was Acting Chief Justice of Supreme Court of Pakistan.

He is the man of his words so whatever he resolves, he does and even enemies endorse his hoesty, integrity and principality. At the time when he assumed his charge as NAB chairman, he during his first speech with NAB officers made it clear that no stone be left unturned to curb corruption from the country. Self respect of innocent must not be hurt and reference must be filed against corrupts following merit, transparency and law. Looted amount must be retrieved from looters and submitted in national exchequer. The matter of not taking any concrete steps in previous years despite complaints, enquiries and investigations would also be investigated as no any officer is above the law.

Ineligible, Corrupt and law breakers would have no room in NAB as the incumbent Chairman does not accept any pressure or reference and ensures meritocracy, transparency, hard work, honesty and integrity.

He works for state interest, his advice to NAB officials to make them realize their duties for establishment of corruption free society is a step taken in right direction at right time.

He also ordered to stop spending NAB’s money lavishly and if anyone found guilty of it will face strict disciplinary action because resources would be utilized in a proper way by stopping unnecessary spending.

His order regarding internal and external audit of NAB is being applauded by all circles and according to his belief, NAB officials should not be linked with any political party, they must be loyal with state and NAB. 

He believes that when officers will work hard and according to law and order on modern scientific lines then there is no reason that plunderers will not face punishments from country courts. 

He firmly resolves that NAB has not been established to serve for political purposes and when NAB officials will work hard with following merit, transparency and law than references would be filed within prescribed time of 10 months.

He checks all issues after the Oct 11, 2017 in full transparency, fairness, evidence with law and now if any reference will file from NAB in Court, he will check it personally to fulfill the legal requirements.

This will not only help NAB in giving punishment to corrupt elements through courts but also to improve the progress of NAB. He said that, NAB officers first give answer to their conscience. If NAB officers will perform their duties with honesty and merit then he will fulfill the requirements of public.  The promotion and appoint in NAB would be made on merit, seniority, performance and in accordance with law. The quota system would be followed and implemented strictly and injustice with any province would not be tolerated.
