Former chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) and chairman of newly-formed Pakistan Justice Democratic Critic Party (PJDCP) Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry approached on Monday the country’s top poll supervisory body seeking asset details of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
An application has been submitted to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to seek full disclosure of assets of the premier from 2008 to 2015.
Former CJP’s counsel Sheikh Ahsan Uddin alleged that the prime minister does not fulfill the criteria mentioned in the Article 62 and 63 of the Constitution after he was exposed by Panama Papers for hiding assets in the offshore companies.
“We would submit an application for the disqualification of the prime minister once we received the asset details,” the lawyer said.
