The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has arrested PML-N leader and former foreign minister Khawaja Asif in a case related to assets more than income.

PML-N spokesperson Maryam Aurangzeb confirmed the development.

She said that NAB arrested Khawaja Asif from near Ahsan Iqbal’s house in Islamabad.

PML-N leader and former Sindh Governor Muhammad Zubair said that Khawaja Asif was arrested by NAB after a meeting of PML-N at Ahsan Iqbal’s house in Islamabad.

It is to be noted that just before the arrest of Khawaja Asif, a consultative meeting of the PML-N was going on in which it was being discussed whether the PML-N would participate in the Senate elections or not.
