In a four-page rebuttal, he said that an ‘incorrect and false’ news had been broken by a journalist Ahmed Noorani on an unknown website of August 27 which claimed the wrong declaration of his assets and liabilities as SAPM.

In this regard, he said that he was not shied away to explain the allegations shamelessly leveled against him. “These allegations have been hurled at me to tarnish my image,” he added.

The four-page rebuttal pointed out the allegations against him and his family. It stated, “My declaration of assets and liabilities as a SAPM in the Federal Government dated June 20 is incorrect because I have failed to disclose the investment of my wife abroad.”

 The controversial report also made claims regarding the businesses of Asim Saleem Bajwa’s brothers in the USA and related its growth to the promotion of him in the Pakistan Army.

“Random mention has been made of companies, businesses, and properties, owned by my brothers and children, with sweeping allegations regarding their evaluation and propriety,” it added.

“It has been alleged that one of my sons had owned a company by name of Scion Builders and Estates (Pvt) Ltd, which has been registered in the SECP. It may be stated that this company has never done any business and the same is dormant since inception,” he concluded.
