Petitioner Khalid Mahmood filed a plea in the ECP over her statements. On November 23, Firdous Ashiq Awan regretted that the opposition parties have been hurling political threats to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) under a new guise. In a tweet, she said these were the same “elements” which had earlier made allegations against the election commission regarding the Form-45 and the result transmission system. “The people – companions of those who have accounts, business and treatment in foreign countries – will be rejected in foreign funding case against the PTI case,” Firdous mentioned. She said the opposition has become a living example of political hypocrisy.
