ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Friday served a fresh summon on Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khawaja Muhammad Asif after he failed to turn up in the Sialkot housing society case today.
The anti-graft watchdog directed him to appear on July 3 along with relevant documents.
A lawyer appeared before the bureau on behalf of the PML-N leader stating that his client can’t appear today because he will be attending a post-budget session in the National Assembly. He submitted the relevant documents to the NAB.
He said Khawaja Muhammad Asif will appear before the bureau after the ongoing budget session.
