Pakistan's Foreign Minister Khwaja Asif is disqualified from the parliament
On Thursday, the High Court declared him as an ineligible parliamentary parliament in the wake of Asif's accusation of having a work permit in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Khwaja Asif has filed a petition in court against rival political party Tayehik-e-Insaf (PTI) party leader Osman Dhar.
Osiman Dhar, who had been fighting legal for some years recently, was confronted by the tax authorities for concealing Asif property.
Finally, after the court gave the verdict of disqualification of Asif, he praised it. He told journalists, "I am grateful to the judiciary for justice."
Khwaja Asif's comments were not immediately available for the court verdict. But Geo TV channel of Pakistan says the Supreme Court has planned an appeal against the verdict of Asif.
Whether Asif will now step down as foreign minister or not, it is still not clear.
Khwaja Asif, a close aide of the Supreme Court, dismissed the Supreme Court verdict last year as Pakistan's prime minister, being close associate of Nawaz Sharif. At the same time, he is considered to be a high-level politician of Pakistan's ruling political party (PML-N).
Before the general elections in Pakistan, the court's verdict against Asif has become a big challenge for PML-N. Other top leaders of Sharif and PML-N say the judiciary has targeted the party intentionally before the election.
