Perception of Draconian Powers and Biased Selection of Cases by NAB needs to be removed: There is a strong perception that NAP is being used more for targeting politicians belonging to opposition parties. The power to arrest has been used indiscriminately without careful examination of the merits of a case.

The time has come for NAB to work towards improving its image. There is a need for amendments in the NAB Ordinance to remove the draconian provisions. 3.3.
