ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday took notice of allegations being levelled by PTI Chairman Imran Khan against the commission and sought record of his speeches from Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra).
In a letter written to the Pemra chairman, the ECP sought record of Imran Khan’s speeches at Layyah, Bhakkar, and Khushab where he leveled serious allegations of collaboration between the commission and the PML-N leaders.
The ECP will review the record of speeches obtained from the Pemra and later a meeting headed by the chief election commissioner will seek evidence of allegations from Imran Khan. “The commission will also seek an explanation from Imran Khan with regard to his speeches,” the sources said.
It is pertinent to mention here that recently, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) condemned ‘baseless allegations’ being levelled by former prime minister and PTI chairman against the commission and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja.
