ECP must act

Anything is possible in a country where a proven fake degree-holder is given a party ticket and gets elected again, where another person with a fake degree gets the post of law minister, and where a man convicted of money-laundering cannot be touched. So, it is not surprising that Waheeda Shah thought she could get away with slapping a polling officer.
I doubt if her party will take any action against her. It is also unlikely that she will be punished by the ECP. But if that happens she will probably be made special assistant to the prime minister or the president, who like to have law-breakers around them at all times.
