      <title>Election Commission disqualifies Jamshed Dasti over fake educational documents</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330424489/election-commission-disqualifies-jamshed-dasti-over-fake-educational-documents</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Election Commission of Pakistan on Tuesday disqualified Member of the National Assembly (MNA) Jamshed Dasti after ruling that his educational documents were fake.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The decision was made after the Election Commission accepted a reference sent by the National Assembly Speaker.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Election Commission, while accepting two separate petitions regarding Jamshed Dasti’s disqualification, declared that the educational credentials submitted by him were forged.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ruling stated that Dasti had presented forged academic documents when submitting his nomination papers for the National Assembly seat, which constitutes a clear violation of electoral laws.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Based on this, the National Assembly Speaker had sent a reference to the Election Commission under Article 63 of the Constitution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following the decision, Jamshed Dasti is now deemed ineligible to hold a seat in the National Assembly, and his seat will be declared vacant.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Legal experts have noted that this ruling is effective immediately, although Dasti has the right to challenge the decision in court.&lt;/p&gt;
