The PTI on Monday said it would challenge the Election Commission of Pakistan’s decision to declare its intra-party polls as unconstitutional and revoke the iconic ‘bat’ symbol in the Peshawar High Court today (Tuesday).
Speaking to media, PTI lawyer and central information secretary Mohammad Muazzam Butt said the party had decided to approach the high court and would file a writ petition on Dec 26.
He said the main party leadership would file the case, claiming that the ECP’s verdict was a “legally flawed” decision, adding that the commission had failed to serve justice in its order.
Butt further claimed that petitions against the PTI’s internal elections were filed in the ECP based on “malicious intent” and “on orders of some people”.
“We are not being provided a level playing field and attempts are being made to keep us away from polls,” the secretary added.
