PM Imran inciting two ministers to frontally attack ECP: Shehbaz
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz president and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday alleged that Prime Minister Imran Khan is provoking federal ministers to "frontally attack" the election commission.
There were reports that the premier had asked his ministers to back Federal Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry and Federal Minister for Railways Azam Swati who were served notices by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) after they levelled serious allegations against the constitutional body.
Imran Khan's advice to his ministers to 'support' two of their cabinet colleagues is a provocation to frontally attack Election Commission. He is targeting ECP at a time of massive internal & external challenges. He cannot be allowed to browbeat our institutions into submission.
