2023-12-28 |
[GEO.TV] A petition was filed in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) against the “unlawful abduction” of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood WormtongueQureshi ![]() , who was re-arrested just minutes after coming out on bail. The senior politician was taken into custody earlier in the day by Rawalpindi police from Adiala jail in connection with a case related to May 9 violent protests, a day after being detained under Section 3 of the Maintenance of Public Order (3-MPO) following approval of his bail in the cipher case last week. In response to the former foreign minister's arrest, his daughter demanded the electoral body to fulfil its constitutional responsibilities and ensure the safety and release of Qureshi, who is a candidate standing the upcoming elections from multiple constituencies of the National Assembly and provincial assemblies of Punjab and Sindh. Meherbano stated in the petition that Qureshi had been granted bail by the Supreme Court, and referred to the remark of Justice Athar Minallah, who stated: “The incarceration of the petitioners will not serve any useful purpose. Moreover, their release on bail during the period of elections would ensure ‘genuine elections and thus enable the people to exercise the right to express their will effectively and meaningfully.” Related: Shah Mahmood Qureshi: 2023-08-26 Nawaz to return to Pakistan in October, confirms Shehbaz after London meeting Shah Mahmood Qureshi: 2023-08-20 Good Morning Shah Mahmood Qureshi: 2023-06-25 Policeman martyred as woman suicide bomber blows herself up in Turbat Related: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf: 2023-11-22 Pak Purge: IHC nullifies August 29 notification for Imran Khan's jail trial in cipher case Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf: 2023-10-11 Meet the Harvard Students Supporting Hamas' Invasion of Israel Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf: 2023-05-19 Eight 'terrorists' fleeing from Zaman Park arrested: Punjab govt Related: Adiala jail: 2023-12-21 Pindi police rebut reports of firing at Judge Mohammad Bashir's car Adiala jail: 2023-12-06 Lawyers try stop export of F-35 parts from Netherlands to Israel Adiala jail: 2023-11-30 IHC acquits Nawaz Sharif in Avenfield reference Related: Athar Minallah: 2023-12-23 Apparently PTI's allegations regarding level-playing field are correct: Justice Minallah Athar Minallah: 2023-12-23 SC grants bail to Imran Khan, Shah Mahmood Qureshi in cipher case Athar Minallah: 2023-05-12 Supreme Court declares Imran Khan's arrest 'illegal', orders him to appear before IHC tomorrow |
