In a dramatic turn of events, Ahsan Iqbal, a prominent Pakistani politician, has been acquitted of corruption charges by the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in 2024. This case, which has been a focal point of political discourse in Pakistan, highlights the intricate interplay between justice and political maneuvering.
Ahsan Iqbal, a senior leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), was arrested by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in 2019. The charges were related to the Narowal Sports City project, a development initiative aimed at promoting sports in the region. The NAB accused Iqbal of misusing his authority to enhance the project’s scope and budget, alleging corruption and abuse of power12.
However, the Islamabad High Court’s recent verdict has turned the tables. The court found no substantial evidence to support the allegations against Iqbal. The detailed verdict stated that the NAB had exceeded its authority and that the accusations were baseless12. This acquittal not only clears Iqbal’s name but also raises questions about the motives behind the case.
Iqbal has consistently maintained that the charges were politically motivated, orchestrated by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government led by Imran Khan. He argued that the case was part of a broader strategy to target opposition leaders and undermine their credibility23. The IHC’s decision to acquit Iqbal lends credence to his claims, suggesting that the case may have been more about political vendetta than genuine accountability.
The Narowal Sports City project, which was at the heart of the controversy, was initially approved in 1999 with a budget of Rs34.75 million. Over the years, the project’s scope expanded, and its budget increased to nearly Rs3 billion. The NAB alleged that Iqbal had directed the Pakistan Sports Board and NESPAK to enhance the project’s scope without proper feasibility studies2. However, the court found that these actions did not constitute corruption, as no personal gain or fraudulent activity was proven13.
This case has significant implications for Pakistan’s political landscape. It underscores the need for a fair and transparent accountability process, free from political influence. The acquittal of Ahsan Iqbal serves as a reminder that just
