The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has adjourned hearing of contempt proceedings against Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan till May 31. Imran Khan on Monday submitted a reply to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in which he argued that he had never been held in contempt of court in the past and did not wish to be in future.
Imran's reply was submitted by PTI Spokesman Fawad Chaudhary. Imran Khan argued that his previous statement was twisted in such a way that if left an impression as he did not respect the ECP and that is was why he has withdrawn it. "The lawyer misrepresented my statement which was why I had to withdraw it," he said.
He further said that he believes that a free and fair election commission is necessary for a just election. The reply explained, "I had filed an application on January 9 through a lawyer, with suggestions regarding bringing transparency into the commission."
