Summary PTI has applauded query made by the Supreme Court regarding placement of politician’s photographs.
LAHORE:-Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has applauded the query made by the Supreme Court regarding placement of photographs of political personalities on government advertisements.
In a statement issued here on Wednesday, PTI Secretary Information Shafqat Mahmood said “These photos are being placed on government ads by federal and provincial governments to get political mileage for their respective parties. The publication of political personalities’ pictures on government advertisements is not only misuse of public resources but also adds to pre poll rigging”, he added.
He said that Punjab Government was putting photos of Nawaz Sharif who has no official position. Federal and Sindh government are carrying out the same and placing the photos of president Asif Ali Zardari and Sindh Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah. Since the president is a head of the state, it is inappropriate to exhibit his photo on ads extolling government activities.
The PTI leader said that it is good that Supreme Court has taken notice of this misuse and sought a reply from the government.
