The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has directed Punjab Chief Secretary Zahid Akhtar Zaman to take action against the perpetrators behind the attack on PPP’s office in Lahore.

In a letter, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, the electoral watchdog stated that it took serious notice of the attack on PPP’s office in NA-127.

“The initial report submitted by DIG operations, Lahore, to the district monitoring officer, has been considered in this commission,” the ECP stated.

“And the honourable commission has directed to take strict action under the law against the accused persons involved in the incident,” it said.
