ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission Pakistan (ECP) on Monday declared ex-senator Yasmeen Shah’s Bachelors of Arts degree as fake and has ordered her to reimburse the salary and allowances she was paid during her time as a member of the Upper House of parliament.
In the detailed judgement of the petition filed against Yasmeen Shah by former speaker of National Assembly Dr Fahmida Mirza, the ECP said that Yasmeen Shah had lied about her academic qualifications to get herself elected as a member of the Senate in 2003.
The ECP also ordered the withdrawal of the notification of Yasmeen Shah’s election as senator in 2003.
