ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Monday filed a petition in the Supreme Court (SC) seeking review of its February 6 verdict on the 2017 Faizabad sit-in by the Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) in Islamabad. ECP said it acted against the TLP as per law, which is evident from its record. The verdict’s Para No.4 negated measures taken by the commission, it said, requesting the apex court to expunge observations against ECP from the verdict. However, the court said, TLP didn’t account for its funds and election expenses according to ECP. The Constitution also empowers the Election Commission of Pakistan to get requisite information from any executive authority.
