KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah urged the members of the provincial assembly to support the resolution put forwarded by Pakistan Peoples? Party against the ?mistreatment? and ?dual standards? of the National Accountability Bureau against provincial lawmaker Sharjeel Memon.

Speaking at the assembly floor, Shah said that the resolution was challenging the rejection of Memon?s bail; in fact, it is against the dual standards adopted by the NAB.

He said that the NAB is not a constitutional institution but a commission introduced by a dictator through an executive order.

The chief minister requested the Sindh High Court to take action against NAB for misdirecting the court by stating that Memon was arrested at Shahra-e-Iraq.

?Everyone knows that Memon was arrested from the premises of SHC. They (NAB) have committed contempt of court,? he added.

Shah said that Memon has expressed his confidence in the court?s judgments.

?We are not trying to influence the court, but condemning the behavior of nab,? he said.

Shah read an excerpt from a judgment of SHC which questioned the action of NAB in Sindh provinces, by not taking into consideration civil liberties of the accused subjects.

?It is sad that Sindh High Court is standing for Sindh but not the Sindh Assembly,? he said.

Shah requested Opposition leader Syed Sardar Ahmed to leave his party line on the issue and raise his voice for the rights of Sindh.

?There is no mala fide intention behind the resolution,? he added.
