Gulalai’s nomination papers challenged

Author: Agencies

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-Gulalai (PTI-G) chief Ayesha Gulalai’s nomination papers for NA-53 Islamabad were challenged on Monday.

Gulalai, who parted ways with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in August last year after levelling allegations of harassment and corruption against party chairman Imran Khan, would be facing off against him and former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi from the said constituency.

However, another candidate contesting from the constituency, Makhdoom Niaz, has challenged Gulalai’s nomination papers claiming she is neither ‘Sadiq’ nor ‘Ameen’ because she has “failed to present proof to back her harassment allegations against Imran Khan”. “She also did not register a case against the PTI chairman, and hence she should be disqualified on the grounds that she is not Sadiq and Ameen,” Niaz claimed.

Responding to the objections, Gulalai submitted a written response in which she clarified that a committee was formed to probe the harassment allegations and she appeared before the committee but Imran did not turn up.
