Is Nawaz Sharif eligible to contest elections? Important claim made

Ishaq Dar, the former finance minister, asserted that there are noimpediments hindering the participation of PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif inupcoming elections, as reported by ARY News. Dar elaborated on the matterby pointing out that article 62 (1) (f), which reduced the disqualificationsentence to five years, had been passed by the parliament and also receivedapproval from the president.
