It said that Khan had instigated people to take part in civil disobedience during the 2014 sit-in over claims of systematic election-rigging by the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) (PML-N) in the 2013 general election.He had also persuaded people not to pay their taxes or send money from abroad, the petition stated.The petition stated that the now-prime minister had taken steps against the country's integrity and had tried to ruin Pakistan's political system.At the same time, the petition argued that Khan is ineligible to be a member of Parliament as under Article 62 (1)(f) of the Constitution, and requested that action be taken against him under Section 124A (sedition) of the Pakistan Penal Code.In December 2017, the Supreme Court of Pakistan had rejected PML-N leader Hf Abbasi's petition for Khan's disqualification and had disqualified Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Tareen for being "dishonest" in misdeclaration of assets case.
