SAHIWAL, Sept 20: The chief election commissioner of Pakistan has reportedly prohibited the Punjab agriculture minister from using the Sahiwal civil rest house as an election office to run the campaign of his son-in-law for district nazim office.
Reports said PML MNA Rai Azizullah had complained to the CEC that Punjab Agriculture Minister Muhammad Arshad Khan Lodhi had established the election office in the Sahiwal civil rest house to run the campaign for his son-in-law Naveed Aslam Lodhi.
He also alleged that the minister was giving the impression to the local bureaucracy that the government was supporting his relative.
Mr Azizullah is a relative of former district nazim Rai Hassan Nawaz, who is once again in the field and the only contestant against Mr Lodhi.
