NAB to offer hi-tea to its prisoners on Eid
25
LAHORE: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) will give a ‘relief’ to its prisoners by offering hi-tea on Eid day.
“Keeping its past tradition alive, the NAB has arranged hi-tea for all detained suspects and they will also be presented bouquets on Eid day,” a NAB spokesperson said in a statement issued here on Wednesday.
The bureau said it had decided to present bouquets to all its suspects detained at Kot Lakhpat and Camp jails on judicial remand. It said the bureau was doing so out of a goodwill gesture.
Opposition leader in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz, Jang media group editor-in-chief Mir Shakilur Rehman and Lahore Development Authority former director general Ahad Cheema are among those on judicial remand in NAB cases.

@Maitreya, It is for elite Pakistani's. "Afternoon tea is a light meal typically eaten between 3.30 pm and 5 pm. Observance of the custom originated amongst the wealthy social classes in England in the 1840s."

How many prisioners are there in NAB custody as of today?
Can NAB issue a province wise complete list so that people should know who are these people, what are the charges against each of the detainee and how long they have been detained in NAB custody?

Why spending public tax money on looters of Pakistan. They should be send to jails rather than high tea. Not appropriate at all.

@Nasir , Nope, NAB including all government departments despite of their mega pay checks waste poor tax payers money in such luxury, never paid from their salaries and its routine, it may be one time offer for prisoners but its a daily offer for all NAB staff.

@Maitreya, 'what is high - tea ' - a term coined by high society of Pakistan along with tea you are served all sorts of fancy dishes - how much does it cost? If you want to know, means you can't afford.

Can NAB provide a list of the recovered loot in last 2 years since the biggest corrupt are being interrogated. Will this come-in go-out hi-tea biryani dawat etc stop. People are simply fed up of empty threats and fighting among political class with no tangible results.
