Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto a ‘traitor’, Nawaz Sharif a ‘dacoit’, Amin Gandapur

In his speech in Azad Kashmir, the federal minister declared Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto a traitor and Nawaz Sharif a dacoit.

During the election campaign, Ali Amin Gandapur announced to give a big development package once again after receiving votes.

The Federal Minister recalled his promise which he did in Gilgit-Baltistan to give a package of Rs10 million on the lead of one vote and rumoured that he would provide much more than what he was asking for.

Earlier, Azad Jammu and Kashmir Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) retired Justice Abdul Rashid Sulehria has ordered the registration of a case against Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Ali Amin Gandapur for donating cash during the party's campaign for the July 25 Legislative Assembly elections.

CEC rejected a report submitted by Returning Officer Mirpur Dadyal Raja Shamriz and directed the authorities to proceed with action against the PTI minister.

A video of the minister donating cash during the campaign for the July 25 election went viral last week prompting the CEC to take notice of the matter.

PTI member Chaudhry Rasib admitted to receiving money from Gandapur during the campaign, after which the RO for Mirpur seized the cash.

Shamriz had presided over a hearing in the matter of the distribution of money by Gandapur.

During the hearing, Rasib had admitted that he had received Rs390,000 from the minister but said that PTI candidate Azhar Sadiq, who is contesting the elections had nothing to do with the incident.

The RO confiscated the money, declared the Assembly candidate innocent and sent a detailed report on the matter to the AJK CEC.
