Former federal minister and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Karachi President Dr Asim, while talking to a TV channel programme on Friday, said that he was drugged when his video statement was recorded and he does not remember what happened. He said, “I was in the custody of Rangers, and the video was recorded in a basement.”

“I was constantly being told what to say in the statement by people in civies.” Some people from a security agency came to me and said that I am under arrest.”

During the interrogation, I was being asked about the business details of PPP co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari.

He added that he has gone through serious mental torture and it has left long lasting effects on his mind as he is now prone to depression.

“NAB is not allowing me as they believe I will not return. I have even said that if I don’t come back government can take over the possession of my hospitals.”

Dr Asim said that he has requested courts to allow him to travel abroad for his back surgery.

“Some people had personal vendettas against me and they misguided the authorities.”

Dr Asim added that the cases against him are completely baseless, scandalous and false and he is willing to face the charges with the consent of the PML-N government.
