Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan termed on Friday Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif a “security risk” to the country. The statement came a day after the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) initiated formal proceedings against Khawaja Asif to probe into his alleged involvement in money laundering on a complaint received from PTI.
In a meeting with PTI member Usman Dar, Imran Khan welcomed NAB’s move to commence inquiry in the complaint sent to NAB Chairman Javed Iqbal in January in which Usman Dar had accused Asif of financial wrongdoing and money laundering.
He directed Dar to cooperate with the accountability watchdog and submit all relevant documentation. “I hope NAB will complete its inquiry within 30 days,” he said. “We will provide all evidence proving money laundering.”
Expressing concerns over disqualification case, Khan added that a quick decision was in the interest of the country.
On Thursday, Dar had said he will present documentary evidence whenever the bureau calls for information. “I have all the evidence related to Asif’s and his family’s foreign accounts and money laundering to the tune of several millions,” he claimed.
