Advisor Asif Mahmood has strongly refuted rumors circulating on social media about the discovery of 1,200 sacks of rice at his house. Asif clarified that these rumors were spread by cyber cells of banned organizations and were blindly propagated by political figures. He stated that after the July events in Bangladesh, he had hoped for constructive politics, but unfortunately, the political atmosphere has shifted towards vengeance and personal attacks. Asif clarified that the incident in question took place in Chandpur's Shahrastri area.
