ECP takes notice of Imran’s speechISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Saturday took notice of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s “personal attack” on the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
Earlier, Imran Khan had addressed a rally in Bahawalpur, where he used words for Nawaz Sharif that the ECP found objectionable.The entire speech will be put before ECP chief Fakhruddin G Ebrahim in a meeting on Tuesday, where it will be evaluated whether the speech contained offensive remarks. On Friday, the ECP issued a notification prohibiting political parties and their candidates from launching personal attacks against their opponents.
With the election campaigns in full swing and parties holding rallies, candidates were seen criticising each other and often resorting to name-calling and rhetoric that could be construed as slander. online
