Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif held a significant meeting with PML-N leader and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif amid recent rumors of his resignation and subsequent denial on social media.
Earlier this week, several media outlets speculated that Khawaja Asif was preparing to step down. However, Asif swiftly refuted these claims via social media, stating that he had no plans to resign and that such rumors were misleading.
During the meeting, both leaders discussed current political developments, internal party strategy, and the public reaction to Khawaja Asif’s recent controversial remarks about Pakistan’s bureaucracy. The minister had claimed that more than half of the country’s bureaucrats had purchased property in Portugal and were preparing to acquire foreign citizenship—a statement that sparked widespread debate.
The meeting is being considered important in party circles, especially as the political climate in Pakistan intensifies and the PML-N prepares for upcoming political challenges.
