The ECP’s returning officer rejected Rasheed’s papers on the premise that he has not paid millions of rupees he owes the Punjab House. A total of six objections were raised on his nomination for a Senate seat.
The commission overruled five of the objections but rejected his papers over non-payment of Rs9.5 million dues.
