He expressed these views in response to a question while addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Friday.
On Thursday, Prime Minister’s Special Assistant on Information and Broadcasting and CPEC Authority Chairman Lt Gen (r) Asim Saleem Bajwa has ‘strongly rebutted’ a news report about the suspicious growth of his family business.
“A malicious propaganda story published on an unknown site, against me and my family, (just uploaded on social media)is strongly rebutted,” the former general wrote on Twitter.
According to a report published on website FactFocus, “The growth of the Bajwa family’s business empire in the United States and later in Pakistan directly matches the rise in power of retired general Asim Saleem Bajwa.”
The report claimed, “The Bajwa family’s companies spent an estimated $52.2 million to develop their businesses and $14.5 million to purchase properties in the United States, while Asim Bajwa and his department were encouraging Pakistanis to invest within their relatively undeveloped country. The businesses of the Bajwa family through different companies were named as Bajco Group.”
