A day earlier Khawaja Asif defense minister left Pakistan with family via a PIA flight to Dubai fearing he may be arrested along with other suspects involved in feeding the derogatory news to Cyril Almeida of DAWN. Critical thing was that it was referred to a security meeting at the highest level in the country. This was a national security breach.
Now he may have felt relieved that a JIT committee has been formed to investigate and reach to the bottom of the matter. He may be thinking committees takes months and then cases in the courts take years so it is safe to return to Pakistan even if he is removed from the job of defense minister. Though his presence or absence does not make much difference in the business of the government.
Khawaja Asif is the only defense minister in the world who insulted and used extremely abusive language against Pak Army general and Pak Army in the parliament when Nawaz Sharif prime mister was sitting besides him proving his act is endorsed by his boss, Nawaz Sharif.
