Imran’s Removal As PTI Leader Is In Way, The ECP Informs IHC

Imran’s Removal As PTI Leader Is In Way, The ECP Informs IHC

December 14, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


Following Imran Khan’s disqualification in the Toshakhana issue, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) told the Islamabad High Court on Tuesday that it had started the process to remove him from his position as PTI chairman.

A district and sessions court in Islamabad has postponed its decision on an ECP petition in the Toshakhana case against Imran Khan, according to ECP Director General Law Mohammad Arshad, who also informed the court that the next hearing of the reference has been set for December 20.

The trial court had heard the commission’s argument on November 22 and is scheduled to render a decision on December 15.

In response to its ruling in the Toshakhana case, the ECP had started the process on December 5 to have Imran Khan resigned as chairman of the PTI. According to Article 63(1)(p) of the Constitution, he was disqualified because he made “false assertions and erroneous disclosure.”

Imran Khan’s appeal against the ECP’s decision to disqualify him was taken up by IHC Chief Justice Aamer Farooq, however owing to a lack of time, further proceedings were tabled until Dec. 20.


Ex-PM’s counsel terms commission’s disqualification order unconstitutional


Imran Khan’s attorney, Syed Ali Zafar, emphasised the case’s importance in light of the ECP hearings. He informed the IHC that Imran Khan was being sought to be disqualified under Article 62(1)(f) in the Toshakhana matter after the National Assembly speaker had mechanically approved the pleas of a few MNAs without providing any justification, documentation, or proof.

He argued that both the ECP order and the NA speaker’s decision were unlawful. The attorney contended that there must be an earlier pronouncement by a court of law against the member in order for a disqualification under Article 62(1)(f) to occur.

He emphasized that neither before the ECP nor when the commission was asked to respond to the inquiries raised in the reference was there a declaration from a court of law against Imran Khan as required by Article 62(1)(f) in this matter.

Therefore, the speaker’s reference is unjustified and unlawful, and the attorney said that ECP should have rejected the reference by concluding that Imran Khan is not ineligible under Article 62(1)(f).

The attorney countered that the ECP was not a court of law and that the Supreme Court had repeatedly ruled that the ECP could not issue a declaration under Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution. He also brought up the most recent Faisal Vawda case, in which the Supreme Court determined that the Commission lacked authority to issue any declarations according to Article 62(1). (f).

The attorney described the current situation as peculiar since assets were bought and traded legally, yet Imran Khan was nonetheless disqualified by the ECP. He cited several decisions of the higher courts where it was determined that while all errors in statements were not grounds for disqualification, it was necessary to determine if the declaration was made with an ulterior or dishonest purpose.

The attorney emphasized that there was no need for Imran Khan to omit the presents from his assets declaration because he had legitimately and in compliance with the regulations bought the assets, and the ECP’s premise that this was done dishonestly was completely false.

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Khan Will Speak At His First Rally After Being Shot

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Khan Will Speak At His First Rally After Being Shot

November 26, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News


In his first public appearance since being shot earlier this month in an assassination attempt he blamed on his successor, the former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan is anticipated to speak to tens of thousands of fans on Saturday.

“My nation will come to Rawalpindi for me.”

The shooting was the most recent development in several months of political unrest that started in April when Khan was removed from office following a vote of no confidence in parliament.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the party of Khan, has been urging the government to call an early election before the current parliamentary term expires in October of next year. Saturday’s demonstration is the culmination of this “long march.”

Khan was cited by PTI as stating in a morning tweet, “My life is under jeopardy and despite being injured I am heading to Rawalpindi for the nation.

On Saturday, there was a video going around of Khan’s assistants posing with his right leg in a blue cast that has since been removed.

The gathering will be held on a sizable open space between the nation’s capital, Islamabad, and the neighboring garrison city of Rawalpindi, which serves as the home of the country’s formidable military.

To stop Khan’s followers from marching on government buildings, authorities have deployed hundreds Pakistani security troops, barricaded highways with shipping containers, and erected a steel ring around Islamabad.

In May, rallies spearheaded by Khan descended into anarchy for 24 hours, with the capital blockaded and ongoing skirmishes between police and demonstrators across Pakistan.
The police vowed to handle forcefully with any PTI supporters who attempted to enter Islamabad this time.

Informed of potential security risks to the gathering, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, who Khan alleges was engaged in the assassination plan, issued a “red alert” on Friday.

He mentioned Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Pakistan as two terrorist organizations that may threaten Khan, adding that “PTI still has the opportunity (to cancel).”

According to the authorities, the murder attempt was carried out by a lone gunman who is currently in jail. Police released a “confession” video in which the owner of the trash business admitted to acting because Khan was opposed to Islam.

However, Khan, a former international cricketer who had a playboy image before he married, claimed he had long warned the authorities that any attempt on his life would be blamed on a religious zealot.

Two days have passed since the government nominated a former spymaster as the next military leader, which brings us to Saturday’s gathering.

Khan appointed Munir as the Inter-Services Intelligence agency’s chief, but he left after just eight months due to a rumored falling out.

Since gaining independence in 1947, Pakistan’s military, the sixth-largest in the world, has launched at least three coups, taking power for more than three decades.

Khan has held many large-scale rallies around the nation since being removed from office, drawing sizable audiences.

The crowd on Saturday is anticipated to be the largest yet.

PTI supporters were arriving in convoys with vehicles bearing party flags from all over Pakistan.
