Layer Missing
On Thursday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) reported that Imran Khan’s attorney, Rai Muhammad Ali, has gone missing after obtaining the former prime minister’s signature on nomination papers at Adiala Jail.
According to PTI’s post on X, Ali entered the jail for the paperwork but failed to return, leaving accompanying lawyers without any explanation from jail officials.
The party shared additional posts detailing the arrest of its candidates and representatives as they attempted to submit their nomination papers. In a video from Sialkot, Haider Ali Gill, the son of former ticket holder Chaudhry Munawwar Gill, was apparently arrested from the returning officer’s office.
Furthermore, in Vehari, PTI claimed that Hammad Raza Jatt, the lawyer for PP-234 candidate Zahid Iqbal, was arrested from the RO office while attempting to file the nomination papers.
Khalid Khursheed Disqualified From PTI Gilgit-Baltistan Leadership Position
Meanwhile, in a significant turn of events, former Gilgit-Baltistan chief minister Khalid Khursheed finds himself disqualified for life from assuming leadership within the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) GB chapter. This development comes on the heels of the Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Court’s earlier decision on July 4, which revoked Khalid Khursheed Khan’s position as chief minister in light of a fake degree case.
The Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) of Gilgit-Baltistan, in a recent verdict released on Thursday, cemented Khalid Khursheed’s exclusion from leading the party, marking a lifetime disqualification. The ruling emanated from a petition filed by Shahzad Agha, a member of the GB Assembly, who contended that Khursheed’s law degree was fraudulent, warranting disqualification under Articles 62 and 63.
The petitioner’s argument centered on the authenticity of Khursheed’s claimed law degree from London, which, upon scrutiny, could not be substantiated. The three-member bench presiding over the case announced the verdict, upholding the petitioner’s stance against the former chief minister.
