Federal Minister for Railways and PTI leader Azam Swati Friday apologised to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) over his allegations against the commission.
A bench, comprising ECP members Nisar Ahmed Durrani and Shah Mohammad Jatoi, conducted the hearing of the show-cause notice issued against the minister.
During the hearing, Barrister Ali Zafar, lawyer for Azam Swati, appeared before the ECP and submitted an apology letter from the federal minister.
"Was he avoiding coming [before the court]?" asked a commission member.
"He [Azam Swati] had to go to Quetta for some important work, otherwise he would have come," answered Barrister Ali Zafar.
