ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister of Industries & Production Hammad Azhar has strongly objected to the contents of a news story published in the News about the alleged "discrepancies and mis-declarations" in the asset statements filed by him with the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), says a statement received here on Thursday.
He said that more than a thousand legislators file their asset statements with the ECP every year and letters requiring explanation by the Commission are routinely sent to most of MNAs/ MPAs/ senators.
It has been alleged in the said story that the "Minister has failed to explain his position to ECP” and “after passage of many months and one reminder the minister filed his reply in writing which was declared unsatisfactory by the Scrutiny Committee”.
