ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday appointed Arshad Daad as its general secretary, according to a notification issued by the party. Daad, an engineer who belongs to Gujrat, is one of the founding members of the PTI, a private TV channel reported. He has earlier served the party as its additional secretary general. The post fell vacant after Jahangir Tareen was disqualified by the Supreme Court from holding public office. The PTI leader had to step down as the party’s general secretary after the ruling. In its December 15 ruling last year, the apex court had disqualified Tareen under Article 62(1)(f) because of his misstatement regarding the ownership of the Hyde House property and failure to declare it in his nomination papers. The Supreme Court has also dismissed a review petition against Tareen’s disqualification. Published in Daily Times, October 2nd, 2018.
