During the conference, participants talked about a variety of political issues as well as the present situation in the country.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) coalition government has decided to ask the Supreme Court to disqualify former Prime Minister Imran Khan and ban his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
At a meeting of the legal team, which was led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Federal Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar gave a briefing.
Sources who were at the meeting said that it was decided that the Supreme Court would be asked to remove Imran Khan from office and ban the PTI.
During the meeting, the JUI-F ministers said that the action against the PTI should go as far as it makes sense. On the other hand, the PPP ministers said that after the ECP’s decision, the law should be followed.
Sources say that it was decided to put Imran Khan and other leaders’ names on the ECL. Tomorrow, the federal cabinet will approve the names that will go on the ECL.
On Tuesday, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had gotten money from places that aren’t allowed.
A three-person panel of the Election Commission of Pakistan, led by Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja and including Nisar Ahmed Durrani and Shah Muhammad Jatoi, has said that businessman Arif Naqvi and 34 foreigners, including some from the United States, have given money to the PTI.
In its decision, the commission said that unknown accounts had also been found. It also said that hiding accounts were a “violation” of Article 17 of the Constitution.
The commission asked the PTI to explain why the money it got shouldn’t be taken by the commission.
The judge said that PTI lied to the Election Commission of Pakistan about thirteen accounts.
The ECP also said that former Prime Minister Imran Khan made a false statement in the PTI case about not being able to get money.
Akbar S. Babar, a founder of the PTI, filed the case, which has been going on since November 14, 2014. Babar said that the money coming into the party from Pakistan and other places was being used in strange ways.
According to sources, it was decided in the meeting that a reference will be filed in the Supreme Court to disqualify Imran Khan, the reference will be filed under Article 62 and 63.
Sources say that it was decided to file the reference after informal consultation with Nawaz Sharif.
It was decided in the meeting that no one including Tehreek-e-Insaaf will be allowed to protest in the red zone, anyone who wants to protest can do so outside the red zone.
