The guidelines for electioneering provided by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) are being violated by political parities in the Garrison City but no government authorities have taken notice of it.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) and the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) are violating the ECP code of conduct by holding rallies that block traffic and use very big loudspeakers that cause too much public nuisance. According to the ECP’s provided guidelines, no candidate could hold a public meeting close to any other candidate’s rally and that the rally must not cause any traffic jam. The political parties are also printing oversized banners in disregard to the ECP code of conduct.
Residents irked with blaring obscene music in election camps
Election camps in Sector G-6/1-1 play music all night at a very high-pitch, which is a continuous source of inconvenience to the residents.
Indian songs continue to blare the whole night long from these camps. As evening falls, elections camps become a battlefield where Indian songs are abusive comments are speared at each other. Abusive and indecent remarks continue to echo within these camps on loudspeakers. It seems sound systems have been placed in the camps to transmit vulgar songs and indecent comments. Residents of the area have demanded of the district management to close down such camps or at least shift them to other areas.
