Islamabad: Police received the medical report of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Fawad Chaudhry.
According to the police, it has been revealed in the medical report of former Member of Assembly Fawad Chaudhry that Fawad Chaudhry was in a state of intoxication at the time of his arrest.
Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Senior Vice-President Fawad Chaudhry Thursday claimed if Pakistan did not vote within 90 days after the dissolution of assemblies, it would be a violation of the Constitution — which would stand suspended because of this breach.
In his first press conference a day after his release on bail, the former information minister said on Thursday that “if any administration or authority tries to defer the elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa beyond the 90-day period allowed by the Constitution, Article 6 of the Constitution will be applicable on them”.
As per the law, the “unconstitutional means shall be guilty of high treason”.
Fawad, who is facing sedition charges for publicly “threatening” members of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in a media talk, was arrested from his Lahore residence on January 25 after a case was registered against him at Islamabad’s Kohsar Police Station. He was released on bail after an additional sessions court in the federal capital approved his bail plea on Wednesday.
The police took further action and registered a case after receiving Fawad Chaudhry’s medical report.
It should be noted that a case was registered against Fawad Chaudhry in Kohsar Police Station of Islamabad on the complaint of Secretary Election Commission.
He is accused of threatening Election Commission officials. Later, the court granted bail to Fawad Chaudhry on February 1
