Arsalan Iftikhar, the son of former chief justice Iftikhar Mohamed Chaudhry, claims that Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan is staging the drama of resignation from assemblies because he knows he will be disqualified under Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution.
“I am filling a reference for disqualification of Imran Khan under Article 62 and 63 for fathering a child without marriage and the PTI chief knows that my case is strong so he is making all his party’s lawmakers scapegoat to avoid personal humiliation,” Dr Arsalan said.
He said PTI chief’s plan to resign from the assemblies is linked with his fears of disqualification.
“Why is he sacrificing the seats of his parliamentarians just to avoid disqualification by the Election Commission of Pakistan,” he asked.
Arsalan said the reference against Imran Khan is ready and 80% evidence has been collected from Pakistan and abroad to prove that the cricketer-turned politician is indeed father of Tyrian Jade, his love child born out of wedlock.
“I am waiting for this drama (PTI’s Azadi march) to end before filing a reference against Imran for violating Article 62 D,P, F read with Article 63 (2) of the Constitution,” he said adding that even if the political drama culminates in favour of Khan, he would still go ahead with his plan.
“Imran Khan accused me of certain things for which he did not have evidence when I was given the position of vice chairman in the Balochistan Investment Board. Imran has gone personal against me and I will soon respond to him in his own language” said Arsalan.
He added that whenever next elections will be held, he would file nomination papers against Imran Khan from every constituency.
