Votes on religious grounds

Author: Daily Times

Sir: PPP’s Paid Content/Political Ad for election campaign is being run on media in which they have shown a lady wearing Christian symbol Cross. She talks desperately for asylum seeking due to non secure situation around. This ad shows that the Christian community is not safe here. Ad ends with message to cast vote for party as they protect minorities and safeguards their rights.

This is clear violation of the ECP code of conduct which bars parties and candidates for asking for votes on religion basis. ECP should take notice of it. This ad should be withdrawn immediately.
