MQM MNA files in SC to declare Nawaz ineligible to contest elections

The Express Tribune
Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) lawmaker Iqbal Qadri has filed an application with the Supreme Court Karachi registry asking the court to declare Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Nawaz Sharif ineligible to contest elections, Express News reported. The application filed on Saturday stated that Nawaz was responsible for the extra-judicial killing of MQM workers in Karachi during the 1992 operation. The petition further added that the PML chief had assets abroad and that he was a loan defaulter. Earlier Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon had also requested the Election Commission of Pakistan to disqualify the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader, saying that Nawaz was the ‘brainchild of dictatorship’ and his propaganda and conspiracies against the present government have failed. Memon said that the Asghar Khan case has revealed Nawaz Sharif’s true nature.
