Pakistan's Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif was today disqualified from holding office by the high court here for concealing details of his UAE work permit while contesting polls in 2013, in another major blow to the ruling PML-N party ahead of the general elections.

In an unanimous verdict, a three-member special bench of the Islamabad High Court ruled that Asif was not truthful and honest and disqualified him under Article 62 (1) (f) of the Constitution.
