ISLAMABAD: Ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Monday submitted fresh applications to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) seeking the disqualification of recently-elected Senator Yousaf Raza Gillani. The party has named the two MPs — Faheem Khan and Jamil Ahmed — as respondents in the case. Irshad Qaiser, ECP’s member from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, said directives of the election commission have not been implemented in letter and spirit. Later, speaking to the reporters outside the ECP offices, Bukhari and Farrukh Habib, another PTI MP, said today the party had raised the issue of public interest in the election commission. She regretted despite the fact that Ali Gillani had confessed to having told PTI MPs the technique to waste their votes ahead of elections, the election commission did not take any action.
