Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan strongly deplored the unabated and rising incidents of openly harassing and attacking the PTI candidates’ proposers and seconders, which, he said, was the worst kind of misuse of authority and abuse of process.
PTI Chairman said: “Today, the first step towards General Elections (scrutiny of nomination forms for general seats) is coming to an end. But up and down the country, state machinery is in full swing against PTI’s candidates whose proposers and seconders or they themselves are being openly harassed, assaulted and pushed back from ROs’ offices. Barrister Gohar pointed out that this was the worst kind of misuse of authority and abuse of process, as it was flagrant failure of ECP in performance of its constitutional duties. “We strongly condemn and deplore this. But Tigers to stay steadfast till February 08 and thereafter,” he added.—INP
