ISLAMABAD, Nov 18 (APP):Federal Minister for Information, Broad
casting, National Heritage and Culture Attaullah Tarar on Monday said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Zaheer
Abbas Khokhar was wasting time of Election Tribunal by seeking several
adjustments.
He was giving his reaction as Zaheer
Abbas Khokhar took another
adjustment in the application challenging election of Attaullah Tarar in NA 127, in February 8 general elections.
The minister said his lawyers appeared in the Election Tribunal and they were fully prepared having all the documents.
The opposite party had no evidence or proof, he maintained.
“Zaheer
Abbas Khokhar wants to escape from the court, that’s why he requested the court to adjourn the hearing,” he remarked.
“If he had evidence, why did Zaheer
Abbas Khokhar ask for an adjournment,” he asked.
Criticising Zaheer
Abbas, he said he had challenged his (Tarar’s) victory but now he was repeatedly seeking
adjustments and wasting the time of the Election Tribunal.
He said if the PTI candidate had no evidence, he should admit it.
He alleged that it has become the habit of the PTI leadership to first file a case in the courts and then run away by seeking
adjustment after
adjustment.
