Imran Khan was disqualified by the Pakistani Election Commission over the Tosha Khana reference, Islamabad.
The Election Commission's five-member bench led by Chief
Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja heard the Tosha Khana reference
regarding former Prime Minister Imran Khan, according to the specifics.
Imran Khan, a former prime minister, has been declared ineligible by the Election Commission in accordance with Tosha Khana reference Article 63-1.
Imran Khan's seat in the National Assembly has been declared
vacant after the Election Commission determined that the Tosha Khana allusion
was accurate and that Imran Khan had engaged in corrupt behavior.
Imran Khan will also be the subject of a criminal
investigation, according to the Election Commission, which also stated that Imran
Khan filed fake tax returns and failed to list some presents as assets.
With a large deployment of Punjab Rangers, FC, and police
positioned to deal with any incident, the security of the Election Commission
of Pakistan (ECP) was strengthened much more on this occasion.
Keep in mind that the Election Commission received the Tosha
Khana reference from the Speaker of the National Assembly in August 2022 in
order to disqualify Imran Khan accused of withholding information.
Imran Khan denied the claims and asserted that the reference
fell outside the purview of the Election Commission and could not be heard
there. He further claimed that the reference was being made for political gain.
Imran Khan asserted in the response he provided to the
Election Commission that the matter fell under their purview and could not be
considered there.
On a September 19, the Election Commission postponed making a
judgement regarding the Tosha Khana reference.
