F.P. Report
KARACHI: Former Member of National Assembly (MNA) Dr. Fahmida Mirza, affiliated with the Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA), is facing potential disqualification from the upcoming elections due to alleged bank default, according to a report submitted by the State Bank of Pakistan to the Election Commission.
Sadia Javed, an individual contesting the elections, has filed objections against Mirza’s nomination papers on the reserved seat for women, arguing that her alleged default exceeding Rs. 21 crore disqualifies her from holding public office under Pakistani law.
The Provincial Election Commissioner’s office is now tasked with reviewing the objections and Mirza’s nomination papers. If the allegations are substantiated and the default amount confirmed, Mirza could face disqualification from contesting the elections. While details of the specific bank default accusations against Mirza haven’t been publicly disclosed, the State Bank of Pakistan’s report to the Election Commission adds weight to the claims.
Mirza, through her GDA affiliation, is part of the opposition alliance against the current government in Pakistan. (INP)
