Islamabad (Staff Report/Agencies): The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to file a ‘judicial reference’ against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja and other members of the commission for allegedly violating code of conduct.
According to sources, the decision has been taken during a PTI high-level meeting chaired by chairman Imran Khan. The meeting decided to initiate the process of filing the reference against the CEC and ECP members for meeting a delegation of the ruling alliance and discussing the prohibited funding case against PTI with them. They also repeatedly demanded that the CEC resign from his post and the ECP be reconstituted before the next general elections.
On July 29, a delegation comprising members of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) – PPP and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan – met ECP officials and urged them to announce long-delayed judgement in PTI’s prohibited funding case and take action against it at the earliest as it was ECP’s ‘constitutional responsibility’.
