Irked by a Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)-funded TV ad containing conversation between former Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif and former Lahore High Court judge Malik Abdul Qayyum, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has approached the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to seek a ban on the ‘vilification campaign’ aimed at the Sharifs.
PML-N senator and in-charge of party’s central election cell Ishaq Dar has written to the ECP, drawing its attention towards a ‘smear’ campaign being run by the PPP against the Sharifs through some ‘fabricated’ and ‘false’ contents in TV ads.
He demanded that the ECP ban broadcast of the material and take action against those responsible for it.
In the ad Shahbaz is seeking undue favour in a case fixed before Justice Qayyum, who responds positively. Shahbaz then says Nawaz had also asked for the favour.
Dar argues that Shahbaz had denied contents of the conversation and regretted that the electronic media also failed to check veracity of the contents and thus violated the code of conduct the ECP had set for the media.
it is fake video to decive the voter against PMLn
