ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday admitted a plea seeking disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) federal minister Faisal Vawda for allegedly submitting a false affidavit with the election authority. Vawda’s troubles began after the controversial move of bringing a “boot” to a political show. He was banned by party chairman Imran Khan from appearing on TV for two weeks. On January 25, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) admitted an application, seeking Vawda’s disqualification on similar grounds. A day later, a south district sessions judge also issued notices to South Karachi SSP and Mithadar SHO over a plea seeking the registration of a case against Vawda.
