The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Wednesday accepted the apologies of Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry and Railways Minister Azam Swati for their remarks against the electoral watchdog and its chief.
The ECP had issued show-case notices to the federal ministers on Oct 27 for their “caustic” remarks and serious allegations against the electoral body and the chief election commissioner.
At the outset of today’s hearing, Railways Minister Azam Swati appeared before the ECP and said that he has always raised his voice to make the election commission independent. The ECP warned Azam Swati and Fawad Chaudhry to be careful in the future.
