Government contemplates legal measures to remove Imran from office

Description:

Following the Election Commission of Pakistan"s (ECP) announcement of a prohibited funding case the previous day, the federal government has decided to initiate legal action against the former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, seeking his disqualification, according to Express News.

This was determined at a meeting of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) on Wednesday at the PM House in Islamabad, which was presided over by the prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif.

The discussion, which covered a variety of political topics and the state of the nation, was also attended by representatives from other affiliated parties.

Imran Khan and other party officials will have their names added to the Exit Control List, according to sources with knowledge of the issue (ECL). The topic will be discussed at the cabinet meeting on Thursday.

The Clean Sweep operation

No party, not even the PTI, will be permitted to demonstrate in Islamabad"s Red Zone, according to the associated parties. According to the sources, the government may soon begin "operation clean sweep" against the PTI"s provincial and national leadership. According to the specifics, numerous teams would participate in the operation concurrently across Pakistan.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and other relevant authorities may take some action against Imran and other party leaders following the ECP"s decision, according to the insiders. However, before making any decisions, legal professionals" counsel will be obtained in this respect.

In the meeting, it was also resolved in principle to file a lawsuit to have the PTI chairman removed from office. The sources also stated that legal action would be taken against PTI leaders Asad Qaiser, Qasim Suri, Imran Ismail, Shah Farman, and Mian Mahmood in addition to their arrest.

Authorities would also take action against PTI MNA Najeeb Haroon, MPA Samar Ali Khan, & former MPA Seema Zia. Tahir Iqbal, Mohammad Noman Afzal, Mohammad Arshad, and Mohammad Rafique are among the other PTI members on the list.

The ECP claimed on Tuesday that 351 foreign firms and 34 foreign nationals provided "prohibited cash" to the former ruling party.

Following the unanimous decision, which was reserved in June of this year by the three-member ECP bench chaired by Chief Election Commissioner Sikander Sultan Raja, the PTI was sent a show-cause notice.

The electoral commission further stated that Imran Khan, the leader of the PTI, made "inaccurate and erroneous" submissions and that 13 "unknown" accounts had been discovered linked to the party.

According to Article 13(2) of the PPO, the former premier had personally signed certifications for the ECP stating that the PTI "does not accept funds from forbidden sources," proving that the PTI is not a foreign-funded political party.

The electoral commission found that the PTI had concealed 16 bank accounts, which was a "major lapse," and that the party had violated Article 17(3) (3) of the Constitution by failing to disclose three bank accounts used by the party"s senior leadership.
