National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officials on Tuesday shifted Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ahsan Iqbal from Islamabad to Lahore.While Iqbal was being shifted to Lahore, the former interior minister prayed that "may 2020 be the year of real change for Pakistan".

Iqbal's stitches will be opened at Services Hospital, Lahore. Recently, a plate had been removed from the former interior minister's arm during a surgery. In May, 2018, Iqbal was shot and injured in Narowal during a corner meeting of the PML-N.

The NAB had begun investigating the Narowal Sports Complex in July 2018. It was built at a staggering cost of over Rs3,000 million. The bureau's investigation team also visited the sports complex last month to secure records.

The mega venture was one of the primary projects developed under former minister for planning Ahsan during the PML-N's tenure.

PML-N Spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb had slammed the government following Iqbal's arrest . She had said that the anti-graft body was taking action against the party's leaders at the behest of Prime Minister Imran. She described the arrest as a 'masterpiece of NAB-Niazi nexus'.
