الیکشن کمیشن نے کبھی مایوس نہیں کیا، محسن نقوی جیسے متنازعہ سخص کو وزیر اعلی مقرر کرنے کے فیصلے کو مسترد کرتے ہیں ، اس نظام کے خلاف سڑکوں پر جدوجہد کے علاوہ کوئ راستہ نہیں ۔۔ کارکنان تیاری کریں عمران خان کی قیادت میں بڑی مہم چلائیں گے

The reaction came after ECP nominated Mohsin Naqvi –a media tycoon—as caretaker Punjab Chief Minister. The Election Commission of Pakistan also issued a notification regarding nomination of Mohsin Naqvi as caretaker Punjab CM.

PML-Q leader and former Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhary Pervaiz Elahi also rejected the name of Mohsin Naqvi for caretaker Punjab CM.

Elahi announced to challenge his nomination and said they would approach the Supreme Court.

“It is a controversial person and we do not accept him as caretaker Punjab CM,” said Pervaiz Elahi while reacting to the ECP’s decision to nominate Naqvi as the caretaker Punjab CM.
