ECP issues notices to PTI MNAs in vote video scandal
Ali Haider Gilani says the footage is ‘tampered’
ISLAMABAD:
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has issued notices to the two MNAs of the ruling PTI who could allegedly be seen in the vote cancelling video of Ali Haider Gilani, son of Leader of Opposition in Senate Yousuf Raza Gilani.
Last month, a day before the Senate elections, a video of Ali Haider emerged on the official Twitter handle of the PTI in which he was telling the ruling party’s lawmakers about techniques of wasting their votes.
The PTI, while terming the leaked video clip “shameful”, asked the ECP to take notice of it. Ruling party’s lawmakers Farrukh Habib and Maleeka Bokhari filed a petition against Gilani seeking his disqualification.
