ISLAMABAD — A formal request has been filed to initiate disqualification proceedings against politician Fazlur Rehman, citing discrepancies in financial documents submitted to election authorities.
Discrepancies Alleged in Financial Forms
According to reports published by Pakistan Connect, the application targets Rehman under Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution. The petitioner points to differences found between two separate forms submitted on December 22, 2023.
The filing highlights that Form A lists a specific Allied Bank account number (0010021702280025) at the Parliament House Branch, while that account number is omitted from Form B submitted on the same date. Instead, Form B lists a different account number (07560120001395).
Call for ECP and Speaker Review
The applicant has urged the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and the Speaker of the National Assembly to examine the documents, compare the financial details, and determine whether information regarding assets was deliberately concealed.
The petition requests that authorities review the accounts to clarify whether they are separate or if details were omitted from one of the submissions. If a legal violation is established, the application asks that formal proceedings be launched under constitutional provisions.
