ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan said on Saturday that no financial wrongdoing was found against Jahangir Tareen and he was disqualified "only on interpretation of trust deed". 

The Supreme Court, in its judgment on Friday, ruled that Tareen cannot be termed honest and stands disqualified for life as per Article 62(1)(f) of the Constitution. It also said the PTI leader used suspicious terms in his statements to the court, besides not declaring his offshore company.

Imran further said that the difference between Tareen and deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif is stark, as Nawaz is guilty of corruption, money laundering, tax evasion and concealment of assets. 

Praising Tareen, Imran said he has shown "unswerving commitment to the cause of Naya Pakistan and worked with utmost dedication for our cause".

The PTI chairman further added that the disqualified PTI leader will remain next to him as they build Naya Pakistan.
