ISLAMABAD, January 11: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan on Monday written a letter to Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) justice (retd) Sardar Muhammad Raza Khan saying the credibility of the Election Commission of Pakistan is being destroyed by keeping the activities of the institution confidential. In his letter to CEC, Imran Khan demanded the right to access to information from the ECP, adding that the future of democracy depend on the transparent and impartial elections commission. He said the Election Commission is guardian of democracy and nation’s confidence, adding that the future of democracy lies in free, fair and transparent elections.
He said that more than 30,000 votes have been cancelled from the voters list of NA-122 since 2013, adding that according to Electoral Rules Act, the ECP is responsible for the preparation of fair voters list. He said Election Commission should follow Article 19 and information should be provided immediately.
Meanwhile the Commission says it is already seized in the petition of Abdul Aleem Khan, and is conducting open proceedings where parties concerned are duly represented by their counsels.
It has, therefore, decided that the letter of Imran Khan may be clubbed with the same petition of Aleem Khan already fixed for hearing on 19th of this month.
