ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan will be unable to appear before returning officers in Islamabad to undergo scrutiny of his nomination papers in NA-53, Islamabad, his counsel Babar Awan said.
Babar Awan said Imran Khan has to appear before returning officers in Lahore, where objections have been filed against his candidacy.
He, however, said that the PTI chief is available for scrutiny on Tuesday.
Khan has submitted nomination papers in five National Assembly constituencies - Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar, Bannu and Mianwali.
