Finance Advisor Salehuddin Ahmed has said the interim government is not involved in the Anti-Corruption Commission’s (ACC) investigation into six National Board of Revenue (NBR) officials, five of whom were actively involved in recent protests. The NBR officials and employees have been protesting since May against a government ordinance that split the agency into two separate divisions -- Revenue Administration and Revenue Policy. Starting Saturday, the NBR officials launched a “complete shutdown” programme. Under the banner of NBR Reform Unity Council, their movement stalled NBR operations, including import-export services. After a day of intense developments, the NBR officials called off their protest programme, which brought relief.
