    During the meeting, PM Imran Khan ordered Dar to challenge ECP’s Daska re-polling verdict.

    Terming the polling null and void in the NA-75 Daska, the ECP has ordered re-polling in the constituency on March 18.

    ECP also announced to suspend the concerned Deputy Commissioner, District Police Officer (DPO), Assistant Commissioner and SPDO Daska over “rigging” during by-poll in NA-75 constituency.
