ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Sunday announced to hold countrywide protests outside the offices of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) tomorrow (Tuesday) against what it called “anti-PTI and biased chief election commissioner.”

The announcement came following a crucial huddle of the PTI’s Political Committee under the leadership of their chairman Imran Khan.

“Chief election commissioner has crossed the limits of dishonesty and partiality,” alleged PTI leader and former information minister Fawad Chaudhry in a tweet after the meeting. “The declaration to de-notify the legislative memberships of the dissident PTI lawmakers has not yet been issued as part of a well thought-out plan,” the tweet added.

The PTI on April 26, Tuesday, would hold countrywide protests outside the offices of ECP, Chaudhry said in another tweet, adding, instructions have been issued to all district chapters of PTI.
