The members apprised the prime minister of the problems being faced by the business community and also presented their proposals in this regard.
Chairman National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Javed Iqbal on Thursday said no businessman approached the accountability watchdog complaining about hurdles created by the organisation in doing business.
Addressing an event attended by a large number of businessmen and industrialists in Lahore, Javed Iqbal said a NAB director was appointed to resolve complaints of businessmen and all the regions were directed to do so and inform the relevant people about it.
“Today, it has been 4 months and 28 days and no complaint by a businessman has been received by those directors. If NAB had created such a panic, then at least 4/5 businessmen would have approached the organization,” he said.
