Top Story March 4, 2021 ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Wednesday declared that it could not disqualify federal Minister for Water Resources Faisal Vawda after his resignation from National Assembly seat. The court, however, directed the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to decide the matter of false affidavit submitted by Vawda, along with his nomination papers pertaining to dual nationality. The order stated the minister had apparently submitted affidavit to ECP comprising the false statement regarding his dual nationality. The court further said there were consequences of submission of false statement by somebody, under the judgment of Supreme Court of Pakistan. Justice Aamer Farooq announced the 13-page verdict, which was reserved earlier, after listening to arguments from both sides at large in a case challenging the qualification of Vawda.
