ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will hear the petition filed against Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Faryal Talpur over her disqualification as a member of the Sindh Assembly today.
ECP Judge Sikandar Sultan Raja will conduct the hearing of the petition filed against Faryal Talpur in which the petitioner had sought her disqualification as a member of the Sindh Assembly.
In this regard, the commission also issued notice to Talpur in the case. The petitioner said that his plea was rejected earlier after he failed to appear before the ECP in the case.
The petition has been filed by two Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPAs in the ECP in which they stated the PPP leader should be disqualified under Article 62 of the Constitution as she failed to declare details of her assets before the ECP, which means she is no longer ‘Sadiq and Ameen’.
The petitioner added that Talpur owned properties in Larkana and Shahdadkot and she was also nominated in corruption cases through fake bank accounts.
Talpur owned properties in Larkana and Shahdadkot, the petitioner stated. They added Talpur has been nominated in a case pertaining to billions of rupees corruption through fake bank accounts and pleaded that she be disqualified as a member of the Sindh Assembly.
Earlier, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) granted Talpur the bail in the fake bank accounts case in December 2019 and asked to submit surety bonds worth Rs10 million.
