ISLAMABAD: The federal government on Wednesday has decided to file a disqualification reference against Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for not mentioning his foreign assets.
Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry in a statement said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has directed its Sindh lawmaker Khurram Sher Zaman to file a reference against Asif Ali Zardari for not mentioning his foreign assets in the nomination papers.
The information minister said that Zardari owns an apartment in the United States. Under Article 62/63, he was bound to declare his assets which he didn’t. He is not eligible to remain a member of the parliament anymore, he added.
“We promised the nation that PTI government will bring corruption-free political structure,” he added.
He said that Pakistan’s national image is improving abroad due to the NAB probes as it is resulting in more foreign direct investments.
“Government has given a free hand to all institutions for indiscriminate treatment with all,” he concluded.
