PTI has released the final list of its candidates on Sunday, for General elections scheduled for July 25.

PTI has faced a big setback in Baluchistan as its important leader in the province Sardar Khan Rind has been disqualified from contesting elections.

Khan Rind was the provincial president of PTI, who had joined the party in 2015. He had submitted his nomination papers from the constituency NA-260  and PB-17 Naseerabad, Jhal Magsi and Khachi for the upcoming general elections.

Rind’s nomination papers were rejected by the Returning Officer as several cases were registered against him. He had challenged the decision of RO in Baluchistan High Court. On Tuesday during hearing, Sardar Rind could not present in person but his lawyer Rana Aamir appeared before the court on his behalf.

BHC upheld the verdict of Returning Officer and bared Sardar Rind to contest elections.
