In an interview to a private TV channel, the former top judge claimed that he has evidence to show Khan’s admittance that he is in fact the father of Tyrian White.
Chaudhry, who now heads Pakistan Justice and Democratic Party, said his party would file objections against Khan’s nomination papers before the relevant Returning Officers.
The legal expert said that there was a precedent for politicians to be disqualified for dishonesty under Article 62 (1)(f), adding that he believed Khan should not be considered ‘sadiq and ameen’ in terms of the Constitutional article, citing documents which confirm the parentage of Tyrian White.
“Khan has mentioned his sons in his nomination papers but made no mention of his daughter. We shall take the case against him in the Supreme Court if the returning officer or the election tribunal fails to act accordingly,” he threatened.
Chaudhry questioned how Khan could go around the world and advocate justice when “he is not even willing to recognise his own daughter”.
