Application seeking Imran Khan’s ‘family certificate’ rejected

ISLAMABAD: The National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) on Wednesday rejected an application by former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry’s son Arsalan Iftikhar seeking the Family Registration Certificate (FRC) of PTI leader Imran Khan, DawnNews reported. Nadra said that it will not share the private details, including the FCR and family tree, of any citizen with an unrelated person as it is illegal to do so. The only people who can access the FRC forms are the head of the family and the family members, Nadra clarified. Arsalan had intended to seek proceedings for Imran Khan's disqualification from the National Assembly allegedly for concealing facts about certain aspects of his personal life in the nomination form. Nadra takes exception to PTI chief's statement‏ Meanwhile, Nadra has taken notice of Imran Khan’s statement in which he claimed that the institute runs a secret cell in the basement of Comsats building. The Nadra spokesman categorically rejected the PTI chief’s claim and termed it as baseless and unfounded. Clarifying the issue, he said Nadra hired two floors of Comsats building in April 2011 to carry out Electoral Rolls printing for Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), which is still under Nadra’s use. The spokesman said as per the directives of election tribunals, Nadra is carrying out its digitization process of thumb verification in the presence of a election tribunal representative where polling bags are opened and relevant election material is scanned before polling bags are repacked and resealed. For this purpose Nadra is utilising the same Comsats building facility. Once the scanning is completed, the election material is returned to the corresponding election tribunal through its representative, he added.
