ISLAMABAD – Ruling party vice president Maryam Nawaz has reacted to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) verdict disqualifying PTI Chairman Imran Khan in the Toshakhana case.
Reactions are pouring in from all sides after the electoral watchdog disqualified Imran Khan, in a unanimous decision, as the defiant politician was found guilty of ‘corrupt practices’.
The Pakistan Muslim League (N) leaders welcomed the verdict. In a tweet, the daughter of the former PM said Pakistan’s first ‘certified liar and thief’ was disqualified with irrefutable evidence. Firing a fresh salvo, she said Imran Khan, his wife [Bushra] looted the state treasury.
پاکستان کا پہلا سرٹیفائڈ جھوٹا اور سند یافتہ چور جو چوری کے نا قابل تردید ثبوتوں کے ساتھ نا اہل ہوا۔ میاں بیوی نے مل کر قومی خزانے کو لوٹا۔ جتنی بڑی چوری ہے اسکی سزا صرف نااہلی پر ختم نہیں ہونی چاہیے۔ اسکو گرفتار کر کے قانون کے سامنے پیش کرنا چاہیے اور لوٹا پیسہ واپس لینا چاہیے۔ pic.twitter.com/5gNffXw0ID
