Prime Minister Imran Khan chaired a meeting of the committee which discussed various issues and took important decisions on Sunday.
Briefing media about the meeting’s decisions, Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said PTI s legal team has been asked to effectively present party s point of view in the ECP and the media to end disinformation and fake news.
