Former CJP will respond to Imran Khan's allegations soon, says Dr Arsalan
Dr Arsalan demands PTI chief’s resignation on basis of providing false information in his nomination papers.
LAHORE:
Dr Arsalan Iftikhar said on Friday that his father, former chief justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Chaudhry, will reply to the allegations made against him by Imran Khan soon, adding that he is doing his "homework" on the matter first.
Dr Arsalan called out the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman for raising "baseless" allegations against him on television.
Khan, he said, had claimed he (Arsalan) was a billionaire and owned many cars, when in fact, he only owns a 2007 model car, he added.
The former CJP's son further claimed that the PTI chief had abused him and his father.
He also demanded Khan’s resignation on the basis of providing false information in his nomination papers, claiming the PTI chief hid important details about his personal life and past history, in regards to his daughter, Terian J Hance.
He added that he came to know about this after obtaining a certified copy of Khan’s nomination papers. He also said that he would approach the National Database Registration Authority (NADRA) to confirm whether he has mentioned his daughter in those documents or not.
Dr Arsalan went on to add that if Khan has denied rights to his daughter, he would not be able to provide them to the daughters of the nation either.
Asking Khan to reply to his allegations, Dr Arsalan said that the PTI chief should talk to him in person.
He also said he would approach the Islamic Ideology Council for their point of view on the matter and would file a reference against Khan, regardless of the time it may take.
Asked whether he had taken his father on board regarding this matter, Dr Arsalan said that while he tries to handle his own matters himself, he familiarises his father with them as 'he is a citizen of Pakistan'.
