PTI's Balochistan president, Sardar Yar Mohammad Rind, is now free to contest the upcoming elections, following the Supreme Court decision today to suspend Balochistan High Court's decision to bar him from running.

Rind told the apex court that his master's degree was in fact a madrassah degree, which he had declared in the 2008 elections, but had chosen to not declare this time around as it was not verifiable by the Higher Education Commission.

The omission does not signify dishonesty on his part.

Rind can contest the elections for NA-206 and PB-17.
