Fawad sees ECP as redundant for failing to do job
Pakistan
Says salaries of ECP staff should be frozen to prevent wastage of resources
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fawad Chaudhry said on Wednesday there was no need to maintain an institution like the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) after it expressed its inability to hold elections.
In a statement on the social networking website Twitter, Mr Chaudhry said salaries of the members and officials of the Election Commission should be frozen immediately and the office should be locked to prevent wastage of resources.

It should be noted that yesterday (Tuesday), the Election Commission, while submitting a report regarding funds in the Supreme Court, had said if the Oct 8 date was not followed, there could be anarchy in the country. It said the elections on May 14 were becoming increasingly impossible due to non-provision of funds and force for law and order.
