The ECP stated that Khan submitted a false affidavit and was involved in corrupt practices. ECP was ordered to register criminal cases against the PTI chairman.
The ECP’s verdict further said that some of the gifts retained from Toshakhana were concealed in his assets. Khan was de-seated as a member National Assembly.
Taking to Twitter, Saad Rafique said, “It is unconscionable to celebrate someone’s disqualification or arrest. I am not over Imran Khan’s disqualification.”
He went onto say that it was Imran Khan who set traps for his opponents. “The one who accused others of corruption has been proven corrupt himself,” he added.
کسی کی نااھلی یا گرفتاری پرشادیانے بجانا نامعقول کام ھے
عمران کی نااھلی پرافسوس ھے
مگر مخالفین کو پھانسنے کے جال انھی نے بُنےھر غلیظ کام عمران نے خود کیا ،کروایا اور اسکا گنددوسروں پر اچھالا
اقتدار کیلئے بناۓ گئے جھوٹے بیانیے کے مکروہ کھیل کے بینیفیشری عمران نیازی ھی تھے
