Meanwhile, the other nominee of the party Mrs Sofia Saeed Shah?s nomination papers filed on Technocrat and Women seats were also rejected for the same said reasons.

The returning officer ruled that Dar is not 'sadiq' and 'ameen' as he submitted a false assets declaration

The returning officer rejected his nomination papers during scrutiny today as the counsel for a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf candidate objected that Dar had not submitted an authentic declaration of his assets.

The returning officer ruled that Dar, thus, is not 'honest' and 'truthful' as per the Constitution.

Dar, in London for medical treatment since October last year, is facing a corruption case in the accountability court for amassing assets beyond his known sources of income.

The Senate elections take place on March 3.
