In today’s news, that has taken the nation by storm, PMLN’s Khawaja Asif has been disqualified by the Islamabad High Court. Khawaja Asif previously served the nation as the foreign minister of Pakistan and also holds a prominent position in the party.
IHC as ruled Asif out of the parliament for holding work permit (Iqama) of the United Arab Emirates. According to IHC, Asif was not qualified to take part in the 2013 general elections from NA 110 as he did not meet the conditions of Article 62(1)(f) of the Act of 1976.
Conclusively, this verdict discards the position of Asif to hold a position in the public and party office.
According to Asif, he declared his Iqama to the Election Commission of Pakistan, which is why he will contest the decision made by IHC.
Pakistanis reacted to the News of Asif Being Disqualified Hilariously!
Another darbari of the Godfather disqualified on the same pattern – using iqama to shield corruption & indulge in money laundering – as well as being guilty of brazen conflict of interest. Allah Al Haq hai – Kh Asif targeted SKMTH & has been publicly humiliated here & abroad

یہ سارے بخص نواز شریف میں کہاں تک جائیں گے؟
ایک ایک کرکے سب کو نااہل بھی کردیں گے مگر پھر بھی جیت نواز شریف کی ھوگی۔ الیکشن والے دن مہر اس نشان پر لگے گی جس کا نواز شریف کہیں گے۔ چاھے نشان شیر کا ہو یا گِٹار کا۔ اعلان ختم— Junior Janjua (@Faisaljanjua01) April 26, 2018
