Lahore Islamabad (HRNW) PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz said Sunday that her father Nawaz Sharif was ousted from the prime minister office over an “expired iqama” but no one summoned Lieutenant General (retired) Asif Saleem Bajwa to explain his assets.
“Does anyone have the courage to summon Asim Saleem Bajwa and ask him how did he earn so much wealth,” questioned Maryam while addressing an event of the PML-N media cell.
In August, a website called Fact Focus published a story that claimed that Bajwa’s family has set up 99 companies in four countries, including a pizza franchise with 133 restaurants.
The website claimed that Bajwa’s wife is a shareholder in at least 86 of the companies. Of them, 71 were set up in the US, seven in the UAE and four in Canada.
Bajwa, however, rejected the story as “incorrect” and “false”. He said that his wife was no longer an investor or shareholder in any business on the date of filing of his asset declaration as PM’s aide. The declaration was filed on June 22, 2020.
In several TV interviews, Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that Bajwa has showed him all the necessary documents to prove the story wrong and that he was satisfied with his explanation.
