On the directives of the central command of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, leader of the opposition in Sindh will file reference against Asif Ali Zardari in the Election Commission of Pakistan today.

Earlier, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Wednesday said that Pakistan People's Party Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari owns apartment in Manhattan area of United States' New York City and the property is his undeclared asset.

Addressing media here, the minister maintained that Asif Zardari has not declared this apartment in the nomination papers filed in the Election Commission of Pakistan so his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, will file a disqualfication case against PPP Co-chairman under Article 62/63 of the Constitution of Pakistan.

'Zardari owns an apartment in the United States. Under Article 62/63, he was bound to declare his assets which he didn't. He is not eligible to remain as member of the parliament anymore,' he said.

'We (the PTI) has directed its Sindh lawmaker Khurram Sherzaman to file a reference against Zardari for not mentioning his foreign assets in the nomination papers,' announced the minister.He was of the view that Zardari would have owned several such properties abroad but this one, the apartment in New York, is one place he is sure the former president owns.
