The petitioner pleaded that fake allegations of money laundering had tarnished Nawaz Sharif\u2019s image while stating that anti-graft watchdog can\u2019t function unbiasely under supervision of Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal. Awan, in his plea, further went on to say that NAB\u2019s press release (on money laundering issue) and the incidents which followed it display negative perception of NAB chief about Nawaz Sharif. The petition also urged NAB chairman to seek forgiveness from Nawaz Sharif over releasing content based on lies.<br \/>\nIt is to be mentioned here that NAB had served Nawaz Sharif legal notice to explain the alleged transfer of $4.9bn to Indian exchequer, revealing that there was a marked increase in the foreign exchange reserves of India after the transfer. Afterwards, former PM asked NAB chief to present evidence in the money laundering allegations against him in 24 hours or tender resignation. He asserted that Iqbal has made the former premier\u2019s character assassination Responding to Nawaz Sharif\u2019s demand of either submitting evidence or tendering resignation, NAB chief stated that if carrying out accountability was a crime, then it would continue [in the future].<br \/>\n\u201cProcess of accountability is in greater interest of the country. It is watchdog\u2019s primary duty to ask from guardians of national exchequer that where sum of money is spent\u201d, said Iqbal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INP ISLAMABAD Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday turned down petition seeking removal of Justice (retd) Javed Iqbal as National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman.
