PTI files disqualification petition against Zardari in SC

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking the disqualification of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) President Asif Ali Zardari.

PTI MPA Khurram Sher Zaman filed the disqualification petition against the former president in the top court.

Speaking to the media outside the apex court, the PTI leader said, “We hope that the court will hear the petition soon and I am confident I will win this case.”

“Zardari owns assets worth billions which he concealed. This is a very big case and we have a lot of evidence,” he said while adding that he will not speak further as the case is now in the court.

“We will apprise the media when there is any headway in the case,” Zaman further said.

On December 20, Zaman had filed a reference in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) seeking the disqualification of the former president for allegedly concealing his New York apartment in his tax returns.

However, earlier this month, the PTI leader withdrew the disqualification reference stating that he would move the Supreme Court against the PPP president.
