Top election body has directed Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar, son-in-law of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to respond to charges of concealing assets of his wife by June 15.
Headed by chief election commissioner (CEC) Justice (retd) Sardar Raza a four member panel of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday conducted preliminary hearing of a petition filed by the rival candidate of Safdar.
Nawabzada Salahuddin Aziz, a PTI ticket holder who lost to Safdar in 2013 general elections from Manshera, filed a petition with the ECP against Safdar last month through his counsel Chaudhry Faisal.
Salahuddin claims that Safdar has not mentioned the properties his wife Maryum Nawaz owns outside the country.
