Observer Report Islamabad
Leaders of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) have flayed the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for treating them unfairly while dealing with issues relating to the coming Senate elections.
Talking to the media men outside the ECP’s office here on Wednesday, Pakistan Muslim League-N leader and former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said he and PPP’s Raja Pervez Ashraf received a letter from the Election Commission of Pakistan a day before yesterday in which they had been told that since they were proposers and seconders of Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani, Pakistan Democratic Movement candidate for the Senate election from Islamabad, they should reach the ECP office at 11 am, otherwise their candidate’s nomination papers would be summarily rejected.
Khaqan Abbasi said when they reached ECP’s office, we were met with the government’s legal team.
