The Minister of Information Fawad Chaudhry has tendered apology to ECP for the allegations he leveled on the Commission some week ago.
Speaking outside the ECP’s office in Islamabad, the minister stressed that he respected the country’s institutions. He had appeared before the commission in relation to his comments about the CEC a few weeks earlier.
During today’s hearing, the minister told members of the commission that he is a lawyer himself and does “not want to get caught up in show-cause notices.”
“Lawyers do not start fights with the courts,” responded the ECP members. “You fight inside the court, not outside them.”
Chaudhry responded by saying that as the minister of information, whatever he says is the policy of the cabinet.
