Supreme Court has upheld Lahore High Court's disqualification verdict against PML-N's two-time MNA Rana Zahid Hussain over a fake degree case.

According to Hussain's nomination papers, he did his bachelors from Punjab University in 2002 but and his FA from Karachi Board in 2004.

The timeline seems wonky and Justice Ijazul Ahsan noticed that.

People move forward but you are operating in reverse gear. — Justice Ijazul Ahsan

The general elections 2018 will not feature Hussain.
