PPP’s candidate Manzar Abbas Khokhar’s office was attacked by a petrol bomb on Friday morning in Lahore. Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja took notice and ordered ECP officials to register a first information report (FIR) after a complaint by the PPP. He added that the inspector general of Punjab has also been issued directions in this regard. PPP candidate Manzar Abbas Khokhar from PP-162 filed an application at the Township Police Station regarding the incident.
