ISLAMABAD: 14, JANUARY, 2021: Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Thursday has termed the attitude of the Federal Minister Faisal Vawda as non-serious.

According to sources, the Islamabad High Court has conducted hearing of disqualification case against Faisal Vawda.

The court has adjourned the hearing till February 8.

It is pertinent to mention here that Chairman Aman Taraki Party, Faiq Shah filed a petition against Vawda, in which he stated that he is no longer Sadiq and Ameen (truthful and trustworthy) as he hidden his dual citizenship and submitted a false affidavit in the ECP with his nomination papers.
