The provincial election commissioner has sent the probe report to the Election Commission of Pakistan after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Vice-Chairman Shah Mahmood Qureshi levelled allegations against the election process, citing sources.
Shah Mahmood Qureshi had levelled allegations against the ECP and the Punjab government over alleged illegal actions ahead of Punjab by-polls.
Reports said that the EC Punjab levelled allegations against Qureshi for pressurising the returning officer during scrutiny of the nomination papers in Multan.
The RO ordered Qureshi not to interrupt the scrutiny process, whereas, the PTI vice-chairman’s personal secretary and activists threatened the EC staffers for removing oversized panaflex banners, the probe report stated.
According to the probe report, the provincial EC asked Qureshi to provide solid evidence against the chief minister, deputy commissioner or district police officer.
