Imran Khan serves defamation notice to Khawaja Asif

Accusations by Asif against Shaukhat Khanum had damaged the image of Pakistan worldwide, says notice.

ISLAMABAD:

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has served Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) leader Khawaja Asif with a defamation notice.

Asif had blamed Khan of speculating in Dubai real estate with the donations he had collected for his charity hospital for cancer patients. He also alleged that Khan had transferred Rs4.50 billion outside the country from Shaukhat Khanum Memorial Hospital accounts.



In an earlier press conference, Khan had shunned Asif’s allegations as “baseless”, and he had declared that he would take Asif to court.

The PTI chief had said that the allegations had caused damage to the fund collection for “Pakistan’s biggest charity hospital” and that if this continues, thousands of patients will be affected.
