On February 11, 2023, Imran Khan, Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, denied allegations of money laundering in a defamation suit against former cabinet minister Khawaja Asif. The suit was filed in response to comments made by Asif in which he accused Imran Khan of money laundering and corruption.
Imran Khan’s legal team submitted a response to the court, denying the allegations and claiming that they were false and baseless. The Prime Minister's lawyers argued that the accusations were made with the intention of defaming Khan and damaging his reputation.
Khawaja Asif has not yet responded to the defamation suit. In the past, he has been a vocal critic of the Prime Minister and has made a number of similar accusations.
The case has drawn significant attention from the media and the public, with many following the developments closely. The outcome of the case will be seen as a test of the independence of the judiciary in Pakistan and the ability of the country's legal system to handle high-profile cases.
