Dr Arsalan called out the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman for raising "baseless" allegations against him on television.
Khan, he said, had claimed he (Arsalan) was a billionaire and owned many cars, when in fact, he only owns a 2007 model car, he added.
The former CJP's son further claimed that the PTI chief had abused him and his father.
He also demanded Khan’s resignation on the basis of providing false information in his nomination papers, claiming the PTI chief hid important details about his personal life and past history, in regards to his daughter, Terian J Hance.
He added that he came to know about this after obtaining a certified copy of Khan’s nomination papers. He also said that he would approach the National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) to confirm whether he has mentioned his daughter in those documents or not.
Dr Arsalan went on to add that if Khan has denied rights to his daughter, he would not be able to provide them to the daughters of the nation either.
Asking Khan to reply to his allegations, Dr Arsalan said that the PTI chief should talk to him in person.
He also said he would approach the Islamic Ideology Council for their point of view on the matter and would file a reference against Khan, regardless of the time it may take.
Asked whether he had taken his father on board regarding this matter, Dr Arsalan said that while he tries to handle his own matters himself, he familiarises his father with them as 'he is a citizen of Pakistan'.

All my prayers and best wishes for ex CJP Iftikhar Ch. Shame for those who are doing character assassination of the best CJP ever.
Justice Iftikhar is the pride of Pakistan. Entire nation backed him. Imran is trying to make his personality controversial. Allah bless Justice Iftikhar.
Why All of a sudden a brat's hogwash is getting this much limelight. He can do whatever he wants but why we should know it through media ???? Overall In this petty issue I can only see NS following Zardari's footsteps to the letter and this opponent Attacking through the hired ones is wat zardari was so good at
I.Chaudhry remained loyal to Punjab Govt and asked to appoint his son in Baluchistan. His son is involved in many pending cases that has not been decided due to pathetic legal system of Pakistan and influence of government.
Moral of this story: If you throw dirt on someone, someone will also throw dirt on you.
@Atif:
Regardless of the follies of former CJ but no two bit part time politician has any right to disparage an ex Chief Justice by suggesting that he sold his soul for a few alms. I don't know about you, but if some characterless and a person of questionable credibility denigrates my father - I would react the same way as Arsalan has.
Why don't you just keep quiet and stop making a fool of yourself.@Ahmed: Arsalan an icon, give me a break.
The query of Arsalan is simple enough! IK has been asking all sorts of questions from NS and other politicians. IK has to come clean and answer a yes or a no.
I am not a PTI or Imran fan but honestly look at the situation carefully guys the chief justice and his have been nothing but a disappointment for the whole nation despite the fact that at one time the whole nation backed the CJ. The former CJ today failed to provide justice despite and made only empty promises.
and this son is already declared involved in corruption of huge amounts of funds. People like him are no moral authority. Mr. CJ and Arslan Please go to jail and atone for your crimes and leave the nation alone. We have had enough of the Chief Justice's lies and empty promises.
I thought Imran Khan's comments were out of line too and perhaps defamatory during a bit of political hysteria.
Though this guy has a right to respond on behalf of his father, you'd still expect as a son of a former judge (who himself was accused of corruption charges marring his own questionable reputation, and also netted his father's own questionable conduct) to have better class and taste than to smear IK on his paternity controversy in a classic low-ball political attack, making it like as if he dishonours Pak's 'daughters' AND threaten to talk to the Islamic Ideology Council in retaliatory verbal attacks....tells you where the mindset is and may reflect how the father used to think in judicial matters too...
IK should accept the reality and stop dreaming of rising to the level of NS. There is a huge difference.
Imran Khan is a short story about self-destruction. He destroyed himself and his chances of becoming Prime Minister. He will never get PML-N voters ever and nor will he ever get PPP voters. Imran Khan is electorally destroying himself!
@Ch. Allah Daad: I don't think that is true, but there is no harm in daydreaming
It saddens me to see a man can stoop to such a level to personally attack the leader of Pakistan's second largest party. This father and son duo could not respond to Imran's allegations about how corrupt he and his father are because he knows it's true and does not want to be caught. Personally attacking a human-being shows how low one can go to defend themselves. If he were man enough, he'd admit to his father's role in the election rigging. I hope IK will fight back.. He's a man of integrity and truth! Imran Khan Zindabaad!
@Ch. Allah Daad: And NS finally full fills his dream of becoming Amir ul Momineen!!
Just wait till 14th aug
Arsalan Iftikhar is one of the most honest and humble persons around, just like his father. It is Mr. Khan who has no credibility whatsoever and should be held accountable for his crimes. I am fully behind former CJP here. Imran needs to be taught a lesson.
ECP in 2007 Demissed Reference Against Imran Khan on same issue raised by Arsalan Iftikhar Nowadays http://www.ecp.gov.pk/CecJudgement/Imran%20Khan%20final%20order.pdf
If He can become a "Dr" then anybody in our country can!!
What Dr Arsalan??? Is ET has some typing mistake or am i reading incorrectly??
Has no value whatsoever. This person has no credibility to even be on national media.
PMLN Royals have no political arguments and are using their touts and department of dirty tricks to divert attention from mismanagement of Pakistan. They malign everybody questioning their kingdom. Well, the boomerang gonna hit themselves. Hard.
Don't respond to Imran, respond to the courts for your crimes.
Soap Opera ... who cares.
Go Arsalan Iftikhar,, you are an icon for youth in Pakistan. We are always behind honest and upright person like you
Bring it on!!
The issue isn't the baby but the morals & principles that Imran's been teaching his supporters all these years. He's deceived the election commission by filling wrong info in his form and this should be treated as a fraud before he launces a smear campaign against the EC. What a hypocrite!
Imran is in deep trouble. His political career is over.
