The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) will return like 'Tarzan' after Ramazan and continue its investigation against all people involved in corrupt practices, Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed said on Saturday.

Addressing a press conference here, the Railways Minister said that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders think they can circumvent NAB laws and evade corruption charges.

"But this won't happen." NAB will continue to act against corrupt politicians, he warned.

On Firdous Ashiq Awan, he said that it will take her some time to get used to the changes. "Those who see themselves on television every day get used to it," he remarked. "Now soon we will see Ashiq asking 'mujhe kyun nikala' [why was I ousted] the same way Nawaz Sharif used to ask."

He claimed that there has never been a cabinet with no sugar mill owners in it. He said that IPP [independent power producers] provide funds to all parties and should be called out for it.

Sheikh Rasheed said that draft of amendments in the NAB law circulated in the sections of the media, is fake. "The amendments, the opposition demanding in the NAB law are not possible", he said.

He said there is no proper lockdown in the country and added that we have to open our businesses, else unemployment will rapidly increase in the country.

Referring to the wheat, sugar and the IPPs reports, he said that responsible will be taken to the task and said that sugar mafia exists in every political party of the country.

Reacting on the PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto's demand of PM Khan's resignation, Sheikh Rasheed said the premier will complete his constitutional term.
