- Printing press owner says PTI chief accusing him of printing fake ballot papers for last year’s elections without presenting any evidence
A private printing press owner has sent a legal notice to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for “falsely” accusing him of printing fake ballot papers for 2013 General Elections.
“My client categorically rebuts the allegations as incorrect, and states on oath that he did not print the alleged ballot papers for the 2013 elections,” said the defamation notice, which was also sent to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
The counsel of M/s Shaukat Noor Printers said his client was being criticised and humiliated in the public domain and was being termed as a conspirator following a press conference by the PTI chief.
“You have simply made your accusation on your own presumption without any substance,” the counsel said in the legal notice, asking the PTI chief to withdraw his allegations and clarify that his statement was based on false information, exonerating his client for all kinds of accusations within 15 days of receipt of notice.
