Here's what the RO found 'unbelievable' in PPP leader Abdul Qadir Patel's nomination forms

PPP leader Abdul Qadir Patel has been unable to make it through Election Commission of Pakistan's scrutiny unscathed — his nomination papers have been rejected for "suppressing material facts and undervaluing his admitted assets".

Jet-setter Patel declared in his forms that he made multiple visits to the UAE in 2015 — one that lasted three days, another for four months, a third for three months — as well as a trip to London AND it only cost Rs230,000. Can't believe it? Well, neither could the returning officer who simply stated "unbelievable" in the notification.

There's more — in 2016, Patel admittedly visited London and UAE for three months each. Total travel expenses? A mere Rs115,000.

Can we get the number of his travel agent, please?
