ISLAMABAD, Feb 12 (INP): The Supreme Court dismissed on Monday Awami Muslim League chief Sheikh Rasheed's disqualification petition against Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. Rasheed, an ally of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), had petitioned the apex court over alleged corruption in the award of a contract for the import of liquefied natural gas (LNG) when Abbasi was the federal petroleum minister and sought a NAB inquiry against him as well as disqualification from Parliament.
