Former president and chief of All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday challenged the rejection of his nomination papers filed from NA-139, Kasur.
Per reports, the former military ruler, who is facing a high treason trial in the Supreme Court of Pakistan, has also challenged rejection of his nomination papers he filed for Islamabad’s NA-48.
After objections of rival candidates, Musharraf’s nomination papers were also rejected from Karachi’s NA-250,but accepted from Chitral’s NA-32.
“I must be allowed to contest elections as I have served this country for eight years,” Musharraf said, who returned last month after nearly four years of self-imposed exile to contest May 11 elections despite possibility of arrest on various charges and death threats from militant groups.
