Khawaja Asif laughs off resignation rumours as mere whims

ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Thursday categorically denied widespread rumours suggesting he had resigned from his post amid controversy surrounding the arrest of the Additional Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) of Sialkot by the Anti-Corruption Department.

Responding to a viral post on social media platform X, Asif stated,

“The person [here] has expressed his [own] wishes in the post and not the truth.”

His remarks were directed at journalist Zubair Ali Khan, who had claimed that Asif submitted his resignation to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif through PM’s Adviser Dr. Tauqeer Shah. According to Zubair, Asif allegedly demanded either the release of the ADCR or acceptance of his resignation.
