PML-N moves ECP for disqualification of Zartaj Gul
June 3, 2019
ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has submitted an application to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) seeking disqualification of PTI leader Zartaj Gul. PML-N’s Hina Pervaiz Butt, in the application, stated that Zartaj Gul had influenced regarding appointment of her sister in NACTA and she should be disqualified for misusing her power. She said that Zartaj Gul had violated her oath by misusing the power. Shabnam Gul, a BPS-18 officer, was serving as assistant professor in the International Relations Department of the Lahore College for Women University (LCWU) and was appointed as director (BPS-19) in Nacta, Islamabad, on deputation for three years. According to a Nacta notification, "The services of Ms Shabnam Gul, Assistant Professor, LCWU, are required for her posting against an available vacant post of Director (BS-19) in Nacta in Islamabad on a deputation basis." However, the Nacta had clarified that Shabnam's appointment as a director would materialise only after a notification is issued in this regard by the Establishment Division. The appointment drew ire on social media after people questioned the role of Shabnam's sister, a PTI minister, in her appointment.
