Maryam Nawaz was talking to media following Asif’s arrest made by NAB in ‘assets beyond means’ case over which the watchdog said earlier he could not convince the investigation committee on how he possessed wealth beyond his income.

Government is visibly fraught with distress over Pakistan Democratic Movement, said Maryam, adding that now it is going for desperate measures. She had alleged that Asif was not arrested but kidnapped and that NAB detained him without any case on the behest of Imran Khan.

It may be noted that PML-N’s Asif had been detained by NAB for allegedly having inordinate wealth compared to the sources of income.
