LAHORE:  The Lahore High Court on Friday adjourned the hearing of the disqualification petition of Prime Minister Imran Khan while ordering the counsel of the complainant to present additional arguments in order for the plea to be maintainable.

Filed by Advocate AK Dogar, the petition was heard by the single  judge bench of Justice Shams Mehmood.

The  complainant accused  the PM of intending  to incite   civil disobedience during the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz tenure.

The petitioner  argued that due to the said reason, the prime minister should be disqualified as member of the Parliament.

“Imran Khan urged people to neither pay taxes nor send foreign remittances. Imran Khan along with his supporters stormed  the Parliament House and smashed its gates,”  the petition stated.

Furthermore, the appeal also accused Khan of working against the country’s sovereignty and the political system seeking his disqualification.
