• Shafqat says commission failed in its duty during Senate polls • Maryam terms demand an attack on institutions • PPP says ministers’ call based on mala fide intentions ISLAMABAD: Still fuming over its defeat at the hands of opposition in the March 3 Senate poll on a general seat from Islamabad, the government has called for the resignation of the chief election commissioner (CEC) and all the four members of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) over their alleged failure in ensuring transparency in the Senate elections. “There is no option left now. The election commission cannot continue to function in its current state. The ECP [members] should collectively resign,” said federal Minister for Education Shafqat Mehmood at a news conference on Monday.
