| [DAWN] The Supreme Court of Pakistain on Tuesday suspended Election Commission of Pakistain's (ECP) notification that declared Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat ...which is the false nose and plastic mustache of the murderous bannedextremist group Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain, whatcha might call the political wingof Lashkar-e-Jhangvi... (ASWJ) chief Ahmed Ludhianvi to be the winner from the NA-89 constituency, DawnNews reported. A three-member bench of the apex court headed by Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali heard the petition that was submitted by Pakistain Mohammedan League -- Nawaz (PML-N) member Sheikh Akram who was originally elected on the National Assembly seat from Jhang. Akram's counsel Makhdoom Ali Khan argued before the bench that the tribunal had not given any explanation as to why it had declared Ludhianvi as the winner from the constituency. Therefore, the court directed the tribunal to hear all appeals submitted by concerned parties in this matter and make a decision within three months' time. Earlier, the election tribunal had disqualified Akram from NA-89 and declared runner-up Ludhianvi the winner. Consequently, the ECP had issued a notification announcing the tribunal's decision. |
