The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday imposed a penalty on the PTI-backed independent candidate, Khurram Sher Zaman, over a code of conduct (CoC) violation in Karachi. The Election Commission’s Monitoring Committee has issued a notice and slapped Khurram Sher Zaman with a fine of Rs 50,000 for holding a rally without permission from the relevant institutions in Karachi.
In the notice, the monitoring committee emphasized the sudden clash that occurred between the police and PTI supporters during the rally.
The monitoring committee also forwarded a copy of the report to the Election Commission Islamabad. Earlier, PTI issued a show cause notice to Khurram Sher Zaman, contesting the general election 2024 as PTI candidate from the constituency NA-241. The PTI has issued a show cause notice to Khurram Sher Zaman after he convened PTI candidates on January 28 for a rally in constituency NA-241 near Teen Talwar, Clifton but failed to appear at the location himself. The notice accused him of misusing the name of the PTI founder to take out a rally in Clifton, which led to an FIR against 4500 workers of PTI.
