The PPP has urged the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to take notice of a person’s death due to firing outside the guest house of the party’s president of Mirpurkhas tehsil (NA-242).

In a letter written to Chief Election Commissioner Sikander Sultan Raja, PPP Central Election Cell Incharge Senator Taj Haider said, “Alarming news coming from NA-212 (Mirpurkhas) that one person died in firing.”

He urged CEC Raja to “take action” on the matter as per the law.
