The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has summoned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan to appear before ECP in person on September 14 for not offering apology in contempt of court. ECP warned in its notification that action will be taken as per law against Imran if he fails to appear before ECP on the given date.
The notification says that instead of submitting a reply to a petition filed by Akbar Sher Babar in ECP, Khan had submitted a review application containing "derogatory remarks against the commission thereby scandalising the commission." While his counsel had later apologised unconditionally, the PTI chief had failed to do the same despite being provided "repeated opportunities" by the ECP.
