ISLAMABAD:The National Assembly on Thursday again rejected the motion seeking release of a supplementary sum of Rs21 billion to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for holding general elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
The motion was moved by Law Minister Azam Nazir Tarar. Earlier on April 17, the National Assembly had rejected the same motion seeking release of Rs21 billion to the ECP for holding general elections in Punjab and KP. The deadline set by the Supreme Court for release of this Rs21-bilion sum to the ECP for polls in Punjab KP has ended.
