“The allegations of corruption by NAB are fabricated, baseless and malicious. Neither I nor my wife got any financial benefit from any land nor other sources as trustees.
“The cabinet unanimously approved the confidentiality agreement in accordance with the law. I have informed about my objections in the previous reply. All the documents available have been submitted to NAB
