After Ali Zafar, Mehwish Hayat Grilled For Commending NAB
She said that accountability watchdog is doing a great job in making Pakistan a corruption-free country
NAB Chairman Justice (R) Javed Iqbal is completing his 4-year term on October 8 and actress Mehwish Hayat has applauded the hard work of the bureau in controlling corruption.
Javed Iqbal, who is also a retired justice of the Supreme Court (SC), took charge as the chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in October 2017.
Prime Minister Imran Khan has also commended the performance of the retired jurist.
Sources revealed that Imran Khan has also been advised by some of his aides to give Javed Iqbal a 4-year extension by amending NAB law. However, he hasn’t reached a decision in this regard.

In her message, Mehwish said that only corruption-free countries are successful in the long run and NAB is doing a great job in controlling it so efficiently.
Mehwish remained hopeful that the bureau will continue its services to keep Pakistan corruption-free.
But her appreciation of NAB has been misinterpreted not only by internet users but political figures.
PPP leader Nabil Gabol mocked Mehwish Hayat by saying, “She will be the next chairman NAB”.
Probably she wil b the next Chairman NAB 😂
