Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to file a reference against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikander Sultan Raja and four members of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP). Besides, the party is also considering moving the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) against Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Qazi Faez Isa.  According to sources, the decision was taken to file a reference against the CEC and the election watchdog’s four members in a legal committee meeting of the party.  The meeting was attended by Shibli Faraz, Sardar Latif Khosa, Salman Akram Raja, and other lawyers. The meeting decided that the PTI would approach the SJC along with the evidence and demand the removal of the CEC and ECP members.  The reference would also raise the issues of denying the PTI its traditional symbol of ‘bat’, non-provision of a level playing field, and holding the general elections much later than the stipulated time frame.  The sources said the suggestion of filing a reference against the CJP is also under consideration. The task to file the reference is entrusted to Barrister Ali Zafar as per the instruction of the PTI founder.  In addition, the decision to file a reference is also taken on the directives of Imran Khan. The final decision to file the reference will be taken in the next meeting of the PTI’s legal committee.
