\nFollowing the violation, District Monitoring Officer (DMO), Peshawar, Shahabuddin, had served notices to the PTI chair, KP CM and others and sought an explanation.
\nAs media reports , the counsels for Imran Khan, Mehmood Khan, and cabinet members appeared before the DMO and submitted written replies.
