FAISALABAD, Oct 5: District and Tehsil Nazimeen in Faisalabad continued to violate the Election Commission ban by canvassing for PML-QA nominees.

District Nazim Zahid Nazir and City Tehsil Nazim Mumtaz Ali Cheema announced at PML-QA’s public meeting at Iqbal Park on Friday night that they would extend all out support to party candidates in the Oct 10 elections.

They also led processions of PML-QA activists to Iqbal Park. Hundreds of the district government and tehsil municipal administration employees were seen making arrangements for the PML-QA meeting in the presence of heads of their respective departments.

Speaking at the meeting, PML-QA’s Punjab president Pervaz Elahi claimed that the candidates of his party would sweep the elections with the help of the masses and not with the support of government agencies.

He said that only his party would be in a position to form government in centre and four provinces.

Meanwhile, the nominees of the PPP, PML-N and Millat Party severely criticized the Election Commission for its failure to take action against the District and Tehsil Nazimeen who were canvassing for PML-QA candidates.

In separate statements on Saturday, PPP divisional coordinator Raja Riaz Ahmed and city president Imran Murtaza Khan, PML-N district president Chaudhry Safdar Rahman and city president Khwaja Muhammad Islam, Millat Party nominee for NA-83 Mian Zahid Anwar and others claimed that the violations of ban had been brought to the notice of the Election Commission many times but no action had been taken so far against the Nazimeen.
