Meanwhile, the PTI government has announced to hold an inquiry into the previous PML-N government’s laptop scheme. Mr Dar claimed that laptops were purchased at exorbitant prices, causing a loss to the national exchequer. It is pertinent to mention here that PTI’s Usman Dar has filed a plea with the election tribunal challenging the election result of NA-73 (Sialkot) won by Khawaja Asif of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). After the July 25 polls, the ECP, on request of the PTI, had conducted recount of 7,300 rejected votes, but Asif remained triumphant after recounting of ballots.
