ISLAMABAD:Minister for Inter Provincial Coordination (IPC) Ehsan Ur Rehman Mazari on Friday termed the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) verdict to disqualify Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan in the Toshakhana reference case a “good decision”.
“It is quite ironic that he has continuously been alleging others [his opponents] of corruption but the ECP decision proves that in reality he himself is guilty of corrupt practices. I believe the ECP gave a good decision,” Mazari told reporter.
He said Imran Khan received gifts from Toshakhana while breaking the law and the norms. “He has been caught red-handed while unlawfully selling the state gifts. He should be ashamed of himself,” he added.
Mazari said Imran Khan also caused loss to the public exchequer by contesting by-election from seven National Assembly constituencies on October 16. “Whenever he gets the chance he exploits the situation. The recent example is by-election. Nobody has unreasonably gone to this extent in the past,” he added.
