Islamabad: Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan on Saturday challenged in Islamabad High Court the top election body’s decision to disqualify him from holding public office for five years in the Toshakhana case for hiding proceeds from the sale of gifts he received from foreign leaders.

The 70-year-old cricketer-turned-politician lost membership of the parliament, as well as, barred from contesting elections for five years after the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday found him guilty of hiding the proceeds from the sale of precious gifts.

He filed an appeal in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) through his counsel Barrister Ali Zafar.
