The petitioner has the stance that just like deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Asif also hid his Iqama from the court and is also involved in money laundering.

He also claimed that Khawaja Asif “has been continuously employed as a full time, salaried employee of IMECL [a UAE firm] since at least July 2, 2011” and held various positions, including ‘”legal adviser” and “special adviser”.
