Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday said the Election Commission's verdict aimed at retention of Ayesha Gulalai as Member of National Assembly is unconstitutional. "Our party is studying legal aspects of the case. We shall devise future course of action about it in coming days," he told the media, here. The ECP has rejected a reference filed by PTI against its MNA Ayesha Gulalai to seeking her unseating as MNA over "violation of party rules."
PTI chairman said it is PTI's rightful demand as well as the constitutional requirement to unseat her as the MNA as she did not abide by the party rules. He urged the ECP to refrain from such steps that created impression that the ECP is against the PTI.
In his reference, the PTI chairman stated that Gulalai had violated party rules and should be unseated as she had abstained from voting for the PTI's nominated contestant Sheikh Rasheed, in the election of prime minister after the ouster of ex-PM Nawaz Sharif.
Imran also spoke on other issues in his media talk. He called utilization of resources of Sindh on people of the province. He said that issues of Sindh needed to be understood. He maintained that jobs are not given on merit while the government supports the culprits in Sindh. He labelled PPP co-chairman Asif Zardari as the biggest disease of Sindh.
Imran alleged that Zardari's sugar mill mafia is usurping rights of the people of Sindh. He also lambasted Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif saying that they bogged down the country into quagmire of huge financial loans. "Pakistan has rendered matchless sacrifices in the war on terror. Those demand do more must acknowledge our sacrifices instead of lauding India," he said referring to the US administration. Imran praised the chairman of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) saying he has taken rights steps.
