Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique on Friday expressed his disappointment on the disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Secretary-General Jahangir Tareen by the Supreme Court (SC). Tareen was disqualified under Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution for not revealing his 12-acre Hyde House property in the United Kingdom as asset, earlier today. Speaking to reporters in Karachi on Friday, PML-N diehard Saad Rafique said the tradition of getting politicians disqualified from courts is condemnable, Express News reported. “Whether it’s Jahangir Tareen or [former PPP prime minister] Yousuf Raza Gilani, politicians’ disqualification doesn’t make me happy,” he was quoted as saying. Rafique took the opportunity to repeat his party’s complaint that they are not being allowed to run the government in a smooth way.
