ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has submitted recommendations regarding fair and transparent elections in Supreme Court (SC).
ECP has suggested a complete ban on rallies, billboards, pamphlets, posters and wall chalking on the occasion of elections.
It has also been mentioned in the summary that permission should not be granted to candidates to run electoral campaign on private channels whereas giving transportation to the candidates should also be forbidden.
The candidates should only be allowed to express their views on state channel while they would only be permitted to hold corner meetings.
The ECP official told the court that these sanctions are needed to hold fair and transparent elections in the country upon which, Justice Azmat Saeed resented and said that the proposal given by ECP is not appropriate.
He also directed to take all the political parties into confidence over the suggestions prepared for electoral reforms.
