All parties, including PTI, deserve level-playing field as electioneering facing gags: HRCP
[GEO.TV] The Human Rights Commission of Pakistain (HRCP) said Monday that all political parties, including the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf
...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations....
(PTI), deserved a level-playing field as the electioneering ahead of the February 8 polls faces gags.

"The election atmosphere is being spoiled [...] free and fair elections should be held, and all parties should be given a level playing field," the commission’s members said during a presser in Islamabad.

The PTI has been voicing strong reservations against the "state machinery" as major of its bigwigs — founder Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who anti-establishment Pak premier, who was hounded out of office, arrested, jailed, and will likely be hung by his political opponents...
and Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi
...a Pak political shape-changer. He is undistinguished except for his habit of periodically needing to have his lips reattached...
— had their nomination papers for the February 8 elections rejected — and the party’s iconic "bat" symbol also could also be taken away.

The PTI founder, who stepped down as the party chairman last year due to a conviction in a corruption case, is also behind bars and his release seems uncertain as he is being arrested in cases back-to-back, which could prove fatal for PTI as Khan is the party’s voter driving force.

In the presser, HRCP Co-char Munizae Jahangir said one political party — an apparent reference to the PTI — was facing different treatment compared to other parties.

"The reason behind holding elections it to allow people to inform their representatives about their problems. If the voter wants to vote a specific person, it is their due right," Jahangir, who is also a senior journalist said.
