Data includes information provided by SBP, FBR, NAB. PHOTO: FILE
The data included information provided by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
According to the information, the SBP has no record of an overdue or amount written off for former president Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif, former prime minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan.
The documents provided by the FBR show the amount of taxes paid by all of the above mentioned leaders except Musharraf. The document for the former president showed empty “Taxes paid” section.
The NAB also gave clean chit to these politicians as the information provided by the bureau to the ECP stated that “no information about any conviction or plea bargain or willful loan default exists.”
There, however, was an additional remark on Nawaz’s document, which stated: “a reference no. 11/2001 of Wilful Loan Default Case is pending with Accountability Court no IV, Rawalpindi. The High Court has granted the stay and quashment petition filed by the individual is still pending with High Court.”

This is a rigged election. Dr Shahid Masood is correct.

What a mockery? How is it possible that General Musharraf was declared unfit to contest from three constituencies and declared fit to stand in election from another constituency? There are glaring inconsistencies in the whole process and whole election process id heavily skewed in the favour of rightest and conservative politicians.
The ECP should also ask, through a public notice if anyone has proof of a crime committed by the political aspirants (as well as Interim Ministers) that may not have been reported for any reason (fear, coercion etc.). I have personally seen bounced cheques, a non-bailable offence, paid by the young gaddeenasheen from Multan whose father is now banned from political office for 5 years and also by the current Information Minister. Parties who received the dishonoured cheques are too scared to go to the Police and in one case were politeky told by the S.P to consider his job!
