PTI-backed independent candidate Barrister Taimur Malik has said he “just received” a copy of the election commission’s letter to NA-148’s returning officer, highlighting the delay in the processing of his complaint.

Shared by Malik on X, the letter on his complaint about “denial of access” to the RO’s office during the provisional consolidation of poll results was issued on February 9 and stated that the matter may be treated as “most urgent”.

“This is why it’s important to document irregularities — this establishes a pattern of wrong-doing and shall need to be looked into by the superior courts,” he added.
