Pakistan's Khan barred from office for five years ‘over corrupt practices’

Summary by Ground News

Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan was disqualified Friday from running for political office for five years, his lawyer said, after the country's election commission ruled he misled officials about gifts he received while in power. Khan was accused of unlawfully selling state gifts received from heads of other nations and foreign dignitaries. Khan denies the charges and says he has done nothing wrong. He said it would file an appeal to the Islamabad High Court to challenge the ruling and called on supporters to take to the streets.
