SHC seeks NAB’s reply on transfer of ‘Roshan Sindh’ project case

SHC

KARACHI: The Sindh High Court (SHC) has directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to submit its reply over transferring case of ‘Roshan Sindh’ project to Islamabad, ARY News reported on Tuesday.

The anti-corruption watchdog has linked inquiry related to the ‘Roshan Sindh’ project with the investigation into fake accounts’ case through transferring it to Islamabad.

As the hearing went underway, NAB prosecutor told SHC that a joint team of the institution will continue a thorough investigation as suspicions prevail for transfer of corruption money of Roshan Sindh’s project to fake bank accounts.

However, defence lawyers opposed the transfer of the inquiry to Islamabad where Khalil Asad, Agha Shahid and 13 others were accused in the case.

The lawyers argued that the case could not be transferred to Islamabad in the middle of inquiry and NAB chairman was not authorised to make such a decision.

To this, NAB prosecutor argued that NAB chief has full powers to transfer an inquiry.

SHC judge questioned, “Is darkness of the province ends after Roshan Sindh project? You should also tell the court for details regarding the company from which the solar plates were purchased.”

Chief Justice Sindh High Court, Justice Ahmed Ali M Shaikh, remarked that the defence will definitely shout if the court summoned complete particulars of the project.

After completion of arguments, SHC extended transit bail of the accused persons and sought a reply from NAB over the transfer of the case till May 7.

Later, the hearing was adjourned.

Young girl’s tragic story makes her symbol of Yemen war

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital. Her entire immediate family was wiped out in an air strike by a Saudi-led coalition that backs Yemen’s government, using an explosive device Amnesty International says was made in the US. Images of Buthaina’s rescue and a picture of her swollen and bruised at a hospital trying to force open one of her eyes with her fingers were beamed worldwide. That international fame saw her become something of a propaganda pawn in the war between Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels and Saudi media. “I was in my mother’s room with my father, sisters, brother and uncle, the first missile hit, and my father went to get us sugar to get over the shock, but then the second missile hit, and then the third,” she says. “And then the house fell,” adds the little girl, who says she is eight.
