Pervez Elahi said that the accused flour mills are not only inactive but no bank account has been opened in his name, I have never bought the shares of this flour mill, inactive flour mill is not an asset.
It is stated in the petition that on the basis of this flour mill, I cannot be prevented from contesting the election, it is settled principle that every undisclosed asset cannot be disqualified, his intention behind non-disclosure of an asset is not sufficient. Must check.
Pervaiz Elahi has said that the total value of the shares being attributed to me is 24850 rupees, I have disclosed my total assets of 175 million rupees, in these assets, I have also disclosed more than 57 million rupees in cash. It’s gone, it can’t be called malice for me not to reveal such a small share.
He further said that it has also been objected that I have not disclosed seven arms licences, there is no column for disclosing arms licenses in the nomination papers.
