ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday rejected disqualification references against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders Imran Khan and Jahangir Tareen.
According to media reports, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sardar Raza Khan announced the verdict and disposed of the references against PTI leaders.
After the dismissal, PTI spokesperson Naeem Ul Haq appreciated the ECP decision. Calling it the victory of truth, he urged the Speaker National Assembly to step down.
Tareen also reacted to the decision, calling it the defeat of Panama stricken Sharif Family.
The reference against PTI Chief Imran Khan was filed by PML-N MNAs and forwarded by National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq. The spear sought disqualification of PTI leader under Article 63 of the Constitution for making misstatements about his Bani Gala property.
According to the reference, Khan had declared that he had received the property as a gift, whereas he had actually purchased it from his ex-wife, Jemima Goldsmith.
The reference against Tareen was filed to the Speaker by PML-Ns Daniyal Aziz, Talal Chaudhry and Maiza Hameed.
