ISLAMABAD: District Monitoring Officer Faisalabad on Sunday took notice of Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah’s media talk and ordered the federal minister to leave the constituency.

DMO said that holding a press conference by a public office-bearer on the polling day within the jurisdiction of a constituency was a violation of the code of conduct.

Earlier, DMO Faisalabad issued a notice to Sanaullah for violating the code of conduct in the by-elections.

Sanaullah has been summoned for conducting the election campaign of Abid Sher Ali in the constituency.

The District Returning Officer has issued strict instructions to Deputy Commissioner and CPO Faisalabad to evict the public office holders immediately from the constituency limits.

“No public office holder is allowed to enter the constituency till the completion of the election process, if any government employee helps the public office holders to enter the constituency, disciplinary action will be taken against him,” the returning officer said in a statement.

It should be noted that by-elections are being held today (Sunday) on eight seats of National Assembly and three seats of Punjab Assembly.

Abid Sher Ali is contesting from NA 108 Faisalabad against PTI candidate Imran Khan.
