Petition seeking PM Imran’s disqualification as MNA dismissed

Islamabad (Staff Report/Agencies): The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday dismissed a petition seeking disqualification of Prime Minister Imran Khan as member of the National Assembly.

IHC Chief Justice Athar Minallah heard a petition filed by citizen Fidaullah, a resident of Lakki Marwat, stating that PM Imran had said in a statement that about 15 MNAs sold their votes. He further maintained that Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid had also seconded the premier's statement.

Justice Minallah asked the petitioner to ask the MNA of his constituency to file a petition in this regard and declared his petition inadmissible.
