ECP should have been consulted on amendments in election rules

Islamabad: Sindh Information Minister Saeed Ghani on Sunday said that the Election Commission should have been consulted on the amendment in elections laws.

He said that amendments to PECA laws are dangerous. These amendments are an attempt to ban the freedom of expression.

Addressing a press conference at the Media Office Islamabad with Nazir Dhoki, Ghani said that in the political history of Pakistan the PTI has told most lies. No one spread false news more than PTI.

The most ridiculous things on social media are being shared by PTI. If the government insists on implementing such laws then it should be implemented from 2010 and let’s take action against those who have spread false news since 2010.

Saeed Ghani said that when this government came, petrol was Rs. 87 per litre and today petrol is Rs 160 per litre. The government has caused inflation and blames Sindh government that it does not control inflation. It is imperative that the people participate in the PPP March on February 27 against this government which has made lives difficult due to inflation. He said that as long as this government is in power, the prices of petrol, vegetables, electricity and other commodities will increase every month. Imran Khan has agreed with the IMF that petrol prices will increase by Rs. 4 per month.

Ghani said that The PPP always spoke on the issues of the people. There will be a historic long march under the leadership of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. As long as Imran Khan Niazi remains in power, the problems of the people will increase. It is very important to send this incompetent government home.

Replying questions of journalists he said that The PPP has proven in the past that it served the people despite different kinds of crises. During the PPP government 2008-2013 the world was facing worst recession. Pakistan faced two floods. We had given people relief and increased the salaries and pensions and we started BISP. Responding a question Ghani said that at the time of PTI sit-in the Chinese president’s visit was cancelled and now the PTI says that the march will coincide with a cricket match. Imran Khan had called the players playing in PSL as Reloo Kattay and now the PTI is taking credit of the same PSL.
