Lucky NRO club members

Bookmark and Share

ISLAMABAD: The list of the NRO beneficiaries runs long but that of real lucky ones is a rather short one. Seven to be precise. These lucky gentlemen are taking it easy, enjoying life, travelling abroad and even visiting holy places. Why? Because they were fortunate enough to have their cases tied to President Asif Ali Zardari, who as per the Constitution cannot be called in any court as long he occupies the presidential office. Those implicated in cases involving the President therefore too will face the music only if and when the prime accused is tried in the court.

These lucky seven include five former federal secretaries and two politicians, according to the NAB list furnished for tabling in the National Assembly. The NAB list indicates that Zardari’s principal secretary Salman Farooqi, ex-principal secretary Saeed Mehdi, ex-chairman ADBP Badar-ud-Din Zaidi, ex-commerce secretary Aslam Hayat Qureshi, ex-chairman CBR AR Siddiqui, ex-agriculture minister Yousaf Talpur and Begum Nusrat Bhutto are co-accused in different cases with the president.
