Clarification/Rebuttal
Election Commission of Pakistan
(Public Relations Wing)
Islamabad, the 27th February, 2017:-
Clarification/Rebuttal
Please refer to your story titled “ECP in the lurch sans Provincial Election Commissioner” published in your esteemed Daily Express Tribune, dated 26-02-2017.
2. It is to clarify that the story based on speculations and does not carry the factual position. Moreover, the Author of the story, to ill-luck and against the Journalistic ethics, did not bother to get the official version of the Election Commission of Pakistan.
3 The author has founded the story on the superficial information of retirement of the Provincial Election Commissioners but has not probed into the consequent happening of the post retirement scenario.
4. At the outset of the story, it has been claimed that the ECP has requested the Establishment Division for provision of grade-21 officers to fill its vacant slots. In fact, ECP has never written such letter to the Establishment Division, thus, it does not have even an iota of truth.
