ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) led by Tahir ul Qadri on Thursday submitted a request with the Election Commission of Pakistan to seek Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s disqualification over concealment of assets.
The application was submitted by PAT lawyers’ wing leader Ishtiaq Chaudhry.
The request claimed that the prime minister had not revealed his assets in the nomination papers submitted to the ECP during the general elections held in 2013.
The prime minister falls short of the Article number 62 and 63, two clauses in the constitution which deal with the character of the prime minister, the letter stated.
Ishtiaq Chaudhry said that the premier is no longer ‘Sadiq and Ameen’( honest and trustworthy).
The PAT leader further said that the PM did not mention certain assets in the tax returns he had filed.
The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan People's Party (PPP) have already submitted references with the ECP against the prime minister, seeking his disqualification over the same reasons.
