Pervez Khattak unconditionally apologizes ECP for using ‘foul’ language

Pervez Khattak

ISLAMABAD: Former chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pervez Khattak submitted a written unconditional apology in the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday.

The electoral body was hearing the suo moto notice of using indecent language by PTI leader against political opponents during electioneering. Pervez Khattak’s legal counsel submitted a written apology to the commission today.

“I am embarrassed to have used inappropriate language during election campaigns for which I seek an unconditional apology,” the response read.

Previously, in the similar notice, the electoral commission directed JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and PML-N leader Ayaz Sadiq to submit their affidavits vowing not to use such indecent language again, while additionally asking the legal counsel of Ayaz Sadiq to give arguments in the next hearing on August 9.

According to the notices, the ECP said the use of “abusive, insolent and derogatory language” against other leaders is clear violation of its code of conduct.

The ECP had also taken a suo moto notice against PTI chief Imran Khan when he used the term ‘donkey’ for PML-N members who were going to receive Nawaz Sharif at the airport on the eve of his arrival.

“And whoever will go to receive him will be a donkey (fool),” PTI chief had said. The remarks of Imran instigated a trade of barbs between the members of PML-N and PTI.
