NA-56 Rawalpindi: Imran Khan’s nomination papers accepted

RAWALPINID: The nomination papers of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan have been accepted from NA-56 Rawalpindi.

Nomination papers of Hanif Abbasi, a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz candidate in NA-56, have also been accepted.

A Returning Officer on Saturday (today) reserved ruling on objections to the nomination papers of Khan.

The ruling was reserved after the applicant and counsel for Khan concluded their arguments.

Sources said that the applicant was of the view that the PTI chief should record his statement in the court while Khan’s lawyer said that the cricketer-turned politician was busy.

The RO said that either Khan should provide a copy of his appeal or appear personally before Returning Officers.
