ISLAMABAD, April 2: To resolve the pending issue of appointment of two members of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) amid recent political strife between the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the opposition parties, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday wrote a letter to the Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif, seeking his suggestions in writing.
In a four-page letter, the PM rejected all objections and allegations hurled by Sharif that the federal government was violating the Constitution by delaying the appointment of the ECP members from
Balochistan and Sindh provinces.
“Written consultation is surely preferred. I again stress your good self to participate in the consultative process by giving your views in writing. In case you do not participate in the consultative process, the people of Pakistan and I shall have no other option but to presume that you are evading the legal process, in which further rights shall be reserved,” writes the PM, without further elaboration.- DNA
