The PTI seeks Sharif’s disqualification for alleged concealment of facts in his nomination forms submitted for last year’s elections and two leaders of the party Members National Assembly Ali Mohammed Khan and Murad Saeed filed an application with the ECP on July 9 to obtain a copy of Sharif’s nomination forms. Citing a Lahore High Court (LHC) judgment, the PTI lawmakers said Sharif had been convicted under civil and criminal liability which he had concealed in his nomination papers.

They also cited media reports according to which the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had declared Sharif a defaulter and criminally liable and had submitted its reservations to the ECP.

The PTI leaders also said that Sharif had taken political bribes as had been proven in the Asghar Khan case and his involvement in the Mehran Bank scandal, which disqualified him under Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution.
