GUJRAT: Senior serving and retired officers of administration and police have expressed their reservations at the action the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has taken against some government officials in the wake of Daska NA-75 by-polls fiasco, saying it seems to be “against the norms of justice”.
Declaring the by-poll null and void, the ECP ordered the establishment division to suspend Sialkot deputy commissioner (DC), district police officer (DPO) and Daska assistant commissioner (AC) from service. It also ordered the Punjab government to transfer the Gujranwala commissioner and regional police officer (RPO), besides suspending two deputy superintendents of police (DSPs).
