He was summoned by the corruption watchdog to record his statement in assets beyond means case as well as for quizzing with regard to his off-shore assets. The probe team interrogated him while asking about his net assets in Pakistan. “How many assets do you possess abroad and where are the documents of those assets?” he was asked. During the interrogation, the investigation team asked the PML-N leader whether all assets were declared. To reply he said, “However, I have brought some records with me. Soon, the remaining records would also be handed over,” he said. Reportedly, the anti-graft watchdog body team asked him to present his statement in a written form as well. Talking to the journalists, the former minister adopted carious behavior and avoided to give strict statement. He said that he cannot give any prediction on the Nab investigation. He also ignored to comment on the NAB case against Shehebaz Sharif. He was asked to appear before the NAB today along with his bank record and he is ready to answer any query.
