The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday asked caretaker prime minister to take appropriate action against the caretaker interior minister for exhibiting political affiliation with a particular political party.
In a letter to the principal secretary to the prime minister, the ECP said: “Such statement on behalf of a federal minister may prove to be damaging to the perception of holding free, fair and credible election in the country with the assistance of a politically biased interim government.”
The Election Commission secretary on behalf of CEC asked the principle secretary to bring this state of affairs to the notice of prime minister for consideration and appropriate action.
Malik Habib Khan had issued a statement in favour of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and various political parties, including Pakistan People’s Party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, Awami National Party (ANP) and others had asked the commission to take notice of the same.
