Aurat Foundation GEM Cell condemns the tenor of questions

Lahore: Aurat Foundation Gender Election Monitoring Cell has condemned the tenor of questions which the Returning Officers have adopted to carry out scrutiny of nominations of prospective candidates, for General Elections 2013.

The Gender Election Monitoring Cell urges the Election Commission to frame election-specific questions to scrutinize nominations instead of resorting to incongruous queries putting the candidates to embarrassment.

Questions, Aurat Foundation, suggested should pertain to examining the discrepancies in the figures of assets, default status, non-payment of loans, instead of probing into irrelevant trivialities not warranted culturally.

Aurat Foundation expects the Returning Officers would be more respectful and contains while carrying out scrutiny of women candidates.
