  1. Dear Pt
    Pls clear the statement that their is objection on nomination paper of Mr. Zafar Iqbal not his nomination paper is rejected so his paper got objection not the rejection.

  2. i think according to the constitution of 1973 that the government servants can not take part in the election so the zafar iqbal nomination papers rejection is right .
