The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Wednesday allowed children of former president Asif Ali Zardari to meet him. The PPP c
o-chairman is currently in NAB’s custody on a 10-day remand in the fake bank accounts case. The application was moved by former president’
;s lawyer,
Farooq H Naek, in which he requested the anti-graft watchdog body to allow his (Asif Zardari) children to meet him. The accountability bureau accepted the request and allowed Zardari’s children to meet him. The bureau had arrested the PPP c
o-chairman from his Islamabad residence after the Islamabad High Court (IHC) turned down his and his sister Faryal Talpur’s plea for extension in their interim bail in the
case on June 10. Following the arrest, Zardari was shifted to the NAB Rawalpindi office where doctors had examined him. His medical report was later presented in the court. Slamming his father’s arrest, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari
had called for countrywide protests and demonstrations.
