Islamabad - Election Commission of Pakistan takes notice of MML's political activities in Peshawar on Thursday. MML was launched on 7th August, however the Interior Ministry asked ECP to ban the political party due to its ties with Jamat-ud-Dawa, a banned militant outfit.

ECP took notice of MML's office inaugural in Peshawar and is investigating the matter. After the investigations, a report will be presented to the commission and further action will be taken by ECP.

MML, despite not getting clearance by Interior Ministry, continued with the political activities and inaugurated its office in Peshawar. During the inauguration ceremony, Party Chief Saifullah Khalid announced the party's support of Liaqat Ali Khan, an independent candidate of NA-4.
