ECP served justice in Toshakhana reference, says PM Shehbaz Sharif

ISLAMABAD (APP) - Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday said that the Election Commission of Pakistan’s decision on Toshakhana reference shattered the 'idol' of honesty and truthfulness of Imran Khan.

The prime minister’s response came after the Election Commission of Pakistan disqualified PTI chief Imran Khan in the Toshakhana reference under Article 63(1)(p) for making 'false statements and incorrect declaration'.

The prime minister, in a tweet, said that the Commission had served justice in the case.

“The nation has witnessed that Imran Khan made personal earning using the office of the Prime Minister. The idol of truthfulness and honesty stands shattered,” he wrote on Twitter.

He urged the PTI chief to surrender before the law instead of fighting against law, using bullets and batons and bringing the rioters. "No one is above the law," he remarked.

الیکشن کمشن نے توشہ خانہ ریفرنس میں انصاف کیا۔ قوم نے دیکھ لیا کہ کرپٹ پریکٹس کرکے وزیراعظم کے منصب کو ذاتی آمدنی کا ذریعہ بنایاگیا۔ “صداقت وامانت” کا بُت پاش پاش ہوگیا۔ قانون سے لڑنے، گولیاں،ڈنڈے چلانے / فسادی جتھے لانے کے بجائے قانون کے سامنے سر جھکائیں۔کوئی قانون سے بالا نہیں
