Islamabad (December 20, 2018): Following the PTI move to file a petition for Asif Ali Zardari disqualification, Pakistan Peoples Party has also requested the Election Commission of Pakistan the details of PTI chairman and Prime Minister Imran Khan and other leaders assets on Thursday.
The PPP delegation comprised of Farhatullah Babar, Nafeesa Shah, Chaudhry Manzoor Hussain and Palwasha Khan met with chief election commissioner and requested details of assets of PM Imran Khan.
“We have submitted a request for the details of the assets of PTI chairman Imran Khan,” Farhatullah said while talking to media after the submission of the petition.
He said that PPP was getting concrete evidence against the government representatives and soon after a reference will be filed against them.
Senior PPP leader said that PPP wanted accountability for all and accountability should be done under the same law.
Earlier today, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) filed an application with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in Karachi, seeking the disqualification of PPP co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari for concealing his assets.
The PPP leader is a member of the National Assembly from NA-213, Shaheed Benazirabad, Sindh.
“Because of this act of his, Mr Asif Ali Zardari under the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Rules of the Election Commission of Pakistan, … as per past precedent, should be disqualified from holding public office under Article 62 (1)(f), as in my opinion he ceases to be truthful and sagacious,” says the application.
According to the application filed by PTI Sindh MPA Khurram Sherzaman with the Provincial Election Commissioner, Zardari had failed to declare an apartment he allegedly owns in Belaire Condominiums located at 524 East 72nd Street, New York, New York, United States of America, in his nomination form for the 2018 general elections.
