“Can’t disqualify Faisal Vawda as he already resigned from NA”, declares IHC

May 9 conspiracy exposed, no escape for PTI founder: Faisal Vawda

As former SAPM on Human Resources, Faisal Vawda submitted his resignation from the National Assembly (NA) after casting his vote, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) announces its decision over Vawda’s dual citizenship case.

The IHC has on Wednesday announced that it could not disqualify Faisal Vawda as the leader had already resigned from his National Assembly seat earlier.

However, the affidavit submitted by Faisal Vawda to Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) was apparently declared ‘false’ by the IHC.

The IHC remarked, “There are consequences of submitting a false affidavit according to the order of the Supreme Court of Pakistan”, adding that the ECP should decide what to do about Faisal Vawda’s allegedly false affidavit.

Dual nationality case: ECP hears pleas seeking Faisal Vawda’s disqualification

Faisal Vawda

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Monday took up the dual nationality case against Federal Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda.

A five-member bench of the commission headed by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, heard the case as no one on behalf of Faisal Vawda appeared before it.

The bench sought comments on the maintainability of petitions against the minister.

The commission issued a notice to him to submit his response to the petitions within 15 days.

If the minister doesn’t respond to its notice, the ECP will decide the case unilaterally, it warned.

The petitions seek Vawda’s removal from the public office under clause 62-1 (F) of the constitution.

In the pleas, it was stated that Faisal Vawda was a dual national when he had submitted his nomination papers to contest election for a National Assembly seat and he concealed his dual nationality.

The minister is no longer Sadiq and Ameen as he filed a false affidavit with regard to his nationality, the petitioners argued.

They also requested the ECP to disqualify Faisal Vawda as member of the National Assembly.
