ISLAMABAD: Minister for Climate Change Senator Sherry Rehman said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan’s disqualification was a legal and constitutional issue whereas PTI should abstain from trying to give it a different colour.

In a series of tweets on her official account, she wrote, “Imran Khan is not first politician who has been disqualified. Former Prime Minister referring to Nawaz Sharif was disqualified for not disclosing his salary and Imran Khan’s case was no different.” She lambasted PTI saying, “There cannot be separate judgments of same nature of matter.

PTI is demanding separate laws and decisions for others and for themselves. PTI spokesperson should discuss legal aspects of decision instead of making accusations and threats against Election Commission.” Imran Khan, she said was disqualified for hiding gifts from Tosha Khana adding, “Those who call others thieves are themselves convicted of corrupt practices.”

She advised PTI Chief that it was suggested that instead of creating new narrative on decision, Imran Khan should allow his probe during proceedings of case.
