He further said SIC had kept in touch with the ECP as a party that "we won't challenge the races" and, surprisingly, the party's head challenged the surveys as a free part.
"He likewise neglected to give a rundown in regards to the saved seats. Their party's constitution expresses that none of the non-Muslim applicants can become [member of the parliament]. Consequently, they are not qualified for saved seats for the minorities," Khan expressed.
"As indicated by the Political decision Act's Segment 140, the seats will be dispersed relatively and will be dispensed to the gatherings which have presented the rundown of saved seats to the ECP. Be that as it may, PTI and SIC both couldn't make it happen," said the previous agent head legal officer.
