ECP denies any 'deal' with government

ISLAMABAD: Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday dispelled the impression of striking any kind of 'deal' with the government, saying some elements were hurling baseless allegations against the Commission.

In a statement, the ECP said some elements want the Commission to act like an executioner and put a rope around Parliamentarians necks.

It said the Commission got the degrees verified through Higher Education Commission (HEC). The ECP heard the stance of the concerned Parliamentarians and then referred the apparently suspected cases to judges for holding proceedings or to the police for lodging FIRs.
