According to a source in the ECP, the election commission was facing intense pressure from ruling quarters for removal of asset details of leaders.

The ECP has also been ordered not to upload such details on website in future, said a source.

The commission had published asset details of last two years of the parliamentarians’, but they are no more available on the website.

There is also a bungalow worth 10 crore under his wife’s name in Murree. Also, the land he received through inheritance amounts to more than a billion rupees.
