| Teacher marks cross on Midhyanas' papers |
| 2013-04-07 |
| [Dawn] The returning officer for PP-31 on Friday rejected the nomination papers of former MPA Muhammad Aslam Midhyana and his son-in-law, Nadeem Sarwar Midhyana, on objections raised by Nafees Ahmad Lodhi, a schoolteacher. Mr Lodhi, who faced the wrath of Midhyana's henchmen in a brazen assault due to his complaint to the DPO at an open court, is also a candidate for the slot. He provided a list of more than 40 cases of murderous assault, dacoity, theft and illegal possession against Aslam Midhyana. He further alleged that Aslam had not paid a penny in tax. Aslam Midhyana pleaded that he was being victimised at the behest of the PML-N as he stood firm and remained loyal to the PPP. The returning officer rejected the papers of Aslam Midhyana and Nadeem Sarwar. The nominations of former federal ministers Chaudhry Anwar Ali Cheema and Tasneem Qureshi, Dr Arshad Shahid and Nadia Aziz were accepted. |
