Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan has been summoned by the election commission to appear before it on Monday for allegedly breaching the secrecy of ballot while casting his vote at a polling station of a Islamabad parliamentary seat, from where he is contesting the general elections, according to media reports today.
The 65-year-old cricketer-turned-politician came under the scanner of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) after his vote was telecast live when exercised his franchise in full view of the media and cameras at the presiding officer's table at the polling station of NA-53 constituency, rather than behind the secrecy screen as required by the law.
