'Are the chief justice and army chief related to you?'

Note to all candidates: stick to photos of yourself, your leaders or other relevant faces for campaign posters and advertisements.

PTI candidate from Gujranwala, Nasir Cheema, found himself in hot water when the Election Commission of Pakistan grilled him on using photos of the army chief and the chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) in his campaign advertisements and posters.

"Are they related to you? What is the army chief and CJP's link to the elections? On what basis did you put up their pictures?" asked retired Justice Sardar Muhammad Raza, the chief election commissioner, clearly unhappy with the candidate's campaign strategy.

Find out what Cheema — who is running from Gujranwala's constituency PP-62 (formerly PP-97) — had to say here.
