ISLAMABAD: The federal government has called on the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to resign, a few days after the Senate chairman and deputy chairman elections were held.
Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood was holding a press conference, flanked by Shibli Faraz and Fawad Chaudhry. In a hard-hitting press conference, the minister lashed out at the ECP, accusing it of failing to act as a neutral umpire .
Mehmood said PM Imran Khan had always campaigned against the power of money to influence elections. He said the ECP was responsible for holding transparent polls and that it had failed to discharge its duties.
ICHC 2020 – Postponement
After careful consideration, the organisers of the ICHC 2020 Conference have announced the decision to further postpone the 16th International Congress of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry (ICHC), originally scheduled to have taken place in September 2020, in hopes to be able to keep it in full format in 2022.
The path that the organisers decided to take, instead of switching into an online event, “is to avoid losing the true purpose of the Conference which has always been authentic scientific and real-life interaction, communication and transmission of knowledge among large and diverse audiences from around the world. This is something that cannot be done through any computer screen.
