The commission had issued production orders for the PTI Chairman but it was not implemented, he added.<br \/>\nPunjab Police AIG (Operations) told the ECP that there are threats to the life of the chairman which he himself had expressed. The head of the bench, Nisar Durrani, asked the police officer whether he believed what the PTI chief had said was true.<br \/>\nThe AIG said that Rawalpindi is densely populated and the journey of the PTI chief to the ECP is not safe. He showed his inability to produce the PTI chief before the ECP and suggested that the commission must get a written apology from the accused by itself.<br \/>\nEarlier, the AIG submitted a report to the ECP regarding the appearance of the PTI chief in which the interior ministry asked the commission to go to Adiala Jail to hear the case. On AIG\u2019s apology, the ECP summoned the interior secretary on November 13.<br \/>\nThe ECP expressed anguish on the interior secretary\u2019s apology and observed that if the department cannot provide security to a single person, how it [ECP] could hold general elections. \u201cHow interior ministry can order the ECP,\u201d the head of the four-member bench asked.<br \/>\nThe ministry of interior will not produce the PTI chairman before the ECP due to security reasons. The ministry and Islamabad police have informed the ECP in this regard citing that production of the former premier would be a security risk.
