Sardar Latif Khosa and Faisal Kareem Kundi of Pakistan People's Party filed the petition with the Election Commission demanding that in addition to Sharif, his younger brother and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, Sharif's son-in-law Captain (retired) Safdar and nephew Hamza Shahbaz should be disqualified.
The petition said that they were not eligible for the membership of parliament as they were involved in corruption and hence not 'honest' as required under Articles 62 and 63 of the Constitution.
It said Dar also kept secret his son's assets in the UAE, while Safdar failed to mentioned assets of his wife and Prime Minister's daughter, Mariam Nawaz Sharif.

"I strongly condemn the recent unprovoked ceasefire violations on 25-26 October by Indian forces at the Working Boundary in Chaprar and Harpal sectors and on the LoC in Bhimber sector, resulting in the deaths of two civilians and injuries to nine others," Sharif said.
"India should investigate the recent incident and share the findings with Pakistan, instruct its troops to respect the ceasefire in letter and spirit, and refrain from intentionally targeting the villages and maintain peace on the Working Boundary and the LoC," he said.
