The nomination papers of PTI leaders Zulfi Bukhari, Azam Swati and Usman Dar’s mother were rejected, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Saturday.
The returning officers rejected the nomination papers of Azam Swati for National Assembly constituency NA 15 from Mansehra and Zulfi Bukhari’s papers for NA 50 from Attock.
Besides this, the nomination papers of former PTI leader Usman Dar's mother for National Assembly constituency NA-71 from Sialkot were also rejected.
The returning officer rejected the nomination papers of Rehana Dar, mother of Usman Dar from NA-71 Sialkot, while the nomination papers of Umar Dar's wife Aruba Dar from NA-71 Sialkot were also rejected.
Both Rehana Dar and her daughter-in-law had submitted their nomination papers against the PML-N central leader Khawaja Asif from Sialkot.
The RO rejected the nomination papers of both for non-payment of social security dues and non-disclosure of assets.
It should be remembered that a few days ago, Usman Dar’s mother blamed Khawaja Asif for the police raid on her house.
In a video message posted by Qasim Khan Suri on PTI X handle on Dec 19, Usman Dar’s mother alleged that police raided her house at the behest of PML-N leader Khawaja Asif. She said that the law personnel tore hers and other women’s garments who were present in the house at the time of police raid.
Former defence minister Kh Asif denied the accusation and sent a notice of one billion rupees to Usman Dar and his mother for making allegations.
Former federal minister Usman Dar, whose whereabouts had been unknown for three weeks, resurfaced in a pre-recorded interview telecast on October 4, in which he announced to quit the PTI alleging that the former prime minister was the mastermind of the May 9 riots.
However, Dar’s mother resented her son’s decision, and in a video statement shared on the social media on October 5, she alleged “Khawaja Asif achieved the goals against Usman Dar at gunpoint. Usman Dar quits politics but not me. I will compete with Khawaja Asif in politics.”
She said that she would continue to support the PTI founder Imran Khan.
Nomination papers of wife of Danial Aziz rejected
The nomination papers of Minhaz Akbar Aziz, wife of former federal minister and PML-N leader Daniyal Aziz and former MNA, for constituency PP-56 Narowal have been rejected by the returning officer.
Minhaz Akbar's nomination papers were rejected because her vote registration is from the federal capital. Her nomination papers were rejected during scrutiny, the RO said.
