He was due before NAB on Friday but he could not appear before it, citing his illness as his major reason for non-appearance. PML-N Deputy Secretary General Ata Ullah Tarar had said that Shehbaz Sharif was seriously ill as his immunity system was weak due to Cancer, and therefore, he was unable to appear before it.

“Shehbaz Sharif will appear before NAB soon after as this Coronavirus pandemic gets over,” said Tarar while criticizing NAB that they could not approve even a single rupee corruption for last two years.

“Why Shehbaz Sharif is being summoned again despite that he has already submitted record of his income and expenditure?,” he asked.
