KARACHI: Reacting to Supreme Court’s verdict, disqualifying Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that ‘ATM out of order’.
In his tweet soon after apex court disqualified PTI Secretary General Jahangir Khan Tareen as Member of the National Assembly for life under article 62-1(f), Bilawal said, “ATM out of order #TareenOUT”.
PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi had sought disqualification of PTI Chairman Imran Khan and Secretary-General Jehangir Tareen for non-disclosure of their assets and ownership of offshore companies abroad.
A three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice Saqib Nisar and comprising Justice Umer Ata Bandial and Justice Faisal Arab announced the much-awaited judgment.
Declaring Jahangir Khan Tareen disqualified for life, the Supreme Court said in its judgment that the respondent could not be declared an honest person because he used suspicious terms in his statements.
The court asked the Election Commission to issue notification to disqualify Jahangir Khan Tareen.
PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry said the decision against Tareen was given on technical grounds and he could file a review petition to challenge his disqualification .
