PTI dissident Zahra Batool files appeal in SC against disqualifications

A dissident lawmaker of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has moved the Supreme Court (SC) against the decision of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) which de-notified 25 PTI MPAs, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Monday.

Zahra Batool has filed an appeal in the Supreme Court against the decision of the ECP, pleading with the court to declare the decision of the ECP null and void.

“No direction was issued by the parliamentary party in the election of Punjab Chief Minister,” she has said in her appeal.

“No meeting of the parliamentary party was held and no policy was decided,” she stated, adding that the ECP’s decision contrary to the facts could not be upheld.
