Ready to give proofs of money laundering against Asif to NAB: Imran

ISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Wednesday has said that he is ready to submit details pertaining to Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif's involvement in money laundering and corruption.

"We have brought undeniable proofs against him [Asif] on the record," Imran said. "The National Accountability Bureau's silence despite proofs of money laundering and corruption against him [Asif] is inexplicable."

Imran, during a meeting with PTI leader Usman Dar at his Bani Gala residence, expressed his concern over no action from the National Accountability Burea on the party's petition.

"We are ready to provide details of corruption and money laundering to NAB."

He further said that Dar can present proofs of banking transactions against Asif and his wife.

"We hope NAB will soon take up legal proceedings against Asif," he said. "The accountability of those who are looting the taxpayers' money is necessary. After the judiciary, the nation's hopes are associated with the accountability institution."

The PTI chief instructed Dar, and a delegation of the party, to meet with Chairman NAB Justice (Retired) Javed Iqbal. 

The Islamabad High Court is scheduled to hear Asif's Iqama case on March 1. APP/AFP
