Talking to media after the committee’s in-camera meeting on Friday, Durrani said that opposition wanted to restore the respect and trust of the election commission which had been damaged after the 2018 election.
“We want to bring people in the election commission of Pakistan (ECP) those have respect and opposition agreed over the steps to revive trust of the ECP among people but the incompetent government failed to resolve the issue,” he said.
