Awami Muslim League (AML) chief and former interior minister Sheikh Rashid dispatched a letter to the chief election commissioner from jail, seeking permission to hold election campaign.
The letter said: “I am the chief of AML and pen and inkpot were allotted to me as my election symbol. On numerous occasions I have been elected on the same symbol, kindly allow me to hold an election campaign rally at Liaquat Bagh a day before the by-polls.”
Furthermore, the former interior minister said he had sent another letter so that his request could be considered.
