The ECP spokesman had said the social media reports being attributed to the ECP Punjab member were false. “The social media accounts after the ECP Punjab member’s name are fake as the member does not have any social media presence, neither has he issued any statement on social media,” he had said.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had written a letter to the Director General (DG) of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) regarding the issue of fake social media accounts in the name of the Chief Election Commissioner.
In the letter, the Election Commission had directed strict action against fake social media accounts attributed to the Chief Election Commissioner.
The Election Commission had written in the letter that false information is being spread on fake social media accounts and all social media accounts attributed to the Chief Election Commissioner are fake.
The letter had further mentioned that action should be taken against fake social media accounts.
