ISLAMABAD: Former Foreign Minister Khwaja Asif has appeared before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in connection with probe into assets beyond known sources of income case, on Tuesday.
According to details, senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was summoned by NAB for quizzing with regard to his off-shore assets.
Khwaja Asif was asked to appear before the NAB today along with his bank record and he is ready to answer any query.
On April 1, the sources had said the PML-N leader had informed the bureau about his skipping appearance through a letter.
They said Khawaja Asif could not turn up as he was out of the country and was expected to return home on April 3.
Earlier, on March 29, the corruption watchdog had summoned the former federal minister on April 2 to record his statement in a probe into a complaint against him for assets beyond known sources of income.
The bureau had asked Khawaja Muhammad Asif to bring the relevant record of his assets in the country and abroad. The Executive Board of the NAB approved an inquiry against him last year.
Besides Khawaja Asif, NAB is also investigating the other senior leaders of the PML-N including Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif, his sons Hamaza Shahbaz, and Khawaja Saad Rafiq in assets beyond known source of income.
