Last week, SAPM Bajwa was accused of having a business empire across four countries in the name of his sons and wife.

An anti-army journalist, formerly associated with the Jang group, had broken the story on a lesser-known website, alleging that the former DG ISPR was hiding his assets when he filed a disclosure ahead of taking oath as a SAPM on Information and Broadcasting.

Asim, on the other hand, had rejected the report calling it ‘malicious propaganda’ against him and his family.

A malicious propaganda story published on an unknown site, against me and my family, (just uploaded on social media)is strongly rebutted

It is noteworthy that Senator Shibli Faraz’s statement is the first official response from the government with regards to allegations on Asim Bajwa, which came days after the said story was published and widely circulated on social media.
