ISLAMABAD: PTI leader Fawad Hussain Chaudhry on Friday exploded at the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for disqualifying party chairman Imran Khan from political office after his lawyers failed to prove he was not guilty in the Toshakhana reference case.
Reactions are pouring in from all sides after the ECP banned PTI chairman Imran Khan from holding any on the charges of stealing gifts received from international leaders
Fawad Chaudry said ECP’s attitude had been the worst. “We never pinned any hopes on it.”
“This is a shameful decision. They have shamed the 220-million-strong-nation.”
Fawad termed the decision as an assault on the institutions of Pakistan and called on PTI cohorts and the public at large to come out for protests against this outrage.
Speaking to media persons after the verdict, Chaudhry said that the commission had given the verdict they had hoped for. “They are only targeting Imran Khan,” he said.
The PTI leader said that the ECP and its members are not competent to make this decision. “Who are you [ECP] to take a this decision?” he questioned.
