An accountability court acquitted Muslim League (N) leader Javed Hashmi in a NAB case here on Wednesday. I was offered to take benefit of the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), but I didnt accept it, Hashmi told media after the court verdict. He said Musharraf ruled over the country for eight years due to the National Accountability Bureau. Hashmi thanked the lawyers and the party workers for their support in the case, which continued for eight years.
