Pak opposition slams govt as ministers facing probe joins panel on ECP appointments

Islamabad, Nov 14 (UNI) Pakistan’s opposition has slammed Prime Minister Imran Khan-led government for inducting two Pakistan ministers into reconstituted parliamentary panel on appointment of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) members while they themselves are facing allegations of committing contempt of the ECP.
One of the opposition legislators said, “On the one hand the prime minister refuses to consult the main opposition leader on the appointment of chairman of the anti-graft watchdog on the plea that he is facing graft cases but, on the other, he not only asks lawmakers to support the two ministers who used contemptuous remarks against the ECP and its chief and are facing a probe, but also brings them to the panel which is supposed to decide on appointment of two ECP members.”
Dawn quoted the sources as saying, under the changes made in the composition of the committee constituted for the purpose, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry has replaced Minister for Education and Special Trai¬ning Shafqat Mehmood and Senator Azam Swati has been appointed in place of Senator Hidayat Ullah.
