The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has started spying on the journalists, as despite the repeated requests by the journalists, the camera with microphone could not be removed from the media room of the Election Commission.The journalists said it is illegal to record private videos and conversations and the camera with a microphone should be immediately removed from the special office for journalists. When the journalists who beat the Election Commission of Pakistan came to know that this is not an ordinary camera, but a microphone is also installed in it and the recording of their voice is also heard through this camera, they asked the spokesperson of the Election Commission of Pakistan to remove it.

They strongly protested and asked him to immediately remove the camera with microphone from the room, on which the spokesperson assured to remove the camera with microphone within a week, but despite this, the camera with microphone could not be removed. The journalists say that the Election Commission of Pakistan has built a room for them and installed a camera with a microphone in it, which records the video and audio of the journalists. There is only one such media office in the whole Pakistan and no, where the camera has been installed to monitor them, while the Election Commission of Pakistan has installed a camera with a microphone to spy on us, despite repeated requests, the camera is not being removed.
