ISLAMABAD: After Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Pakistan People?s Party (PPP) has also decided to file reference in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for disqualification of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and other members of Sharif family on Monday.
According to details on Saturday, the PPP has prepared the reference against PM Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, MNA Hamza Shahbaz, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and Captain (retd) Safdar, son-in-law of the prime minister.
The reference will be filed in the ECP under articles 62, 63 by former governor Punjab Latif Khosa.
The PPP has already distanced itself from parliamentary committee on ToRs for investigation into Panama papers leaks.
PPP leader Barrister Latif Khosa said all five mentioned do not meet the criteria for qualification for public office set under Article 62 and 63 of the Constitution. He said the reference prepared by People?s Party consists of around 1,000 pages having sufficient evidence to declare them disqualified.
It includes self-contradictory statements of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif and Ishaq Dar as evidence, he added. ? INP/Geo
