CHITRAL, May 14: MNA Maulana Abdul Akbar Chitrali has said that the federal government should not use the National Accountability Bureau to blackmail the politicians but it must unearth corruption irrespective of who has committed it.

Speaking at a press conference here on Sunday, he said that Chitral District Nazim Shahzada Mohyuddin was openly involved in loot and plunder of the national wealth, but he was being protected by the ruling Pakistan Muslim League.

Mr Chitrali called upon the provincial government to investigate into massive corruption in the construction of Beori, Golen, Phasti and Garam Chashma roads through the NAB and bring the culprits to book.
