ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is mulling action over some serious discrepancies observed during scrutiny of assets declaration by Federal Minister Hammad Azhar, first in his nomination papers and later as member parliament, senior officials said.
The top poll body says the minister, holding the portfolio of Production and Industries, did not declare his own shares in a flour mill and few other businesses in one of his declarations submitted to the ECP. However, after he became MNA in 2018 and later became a member of the cabinet, the assets declared by him and his spouse were different from those he had declared earlier, which prompted the ECP to launch the scrutiny some two years back.
