PTI not sincere for accountability: Miftah

ISLAMABAD, Oct 20 (APP): Chairman Board of Investment Dr Miftah Ismail Thursday said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was not sincere for accountability but only targeting the Prime Minister. Talking to PTV programme Nuqta-e-Aitraz, he said if PTI was sincere for accountability, then why it had made the office of accountability commission in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa non-functional. He said political parties could not hold accountable to each other and only an independent institution could accomplish the task, adding all the political parties should play their role for strengthening country’s institutions. To a question, he said although the Prime Minister’s name was not mentioned in Panama Papers, even then he presented himself for accountability which was a sign of his sincerity on the issues. He said holding protest was the right of everyone but inciting the people to create anarchy was sheer violation of the Constitution.
