ECP bars PTI from using bat as election symbol

In a letter dated April 26, the ECP said the matter of symbols’ allotment was placed before the ECP which held that the bat symbol might not be allotted to the PTI for the coming elections until it held intra-party elections and fulfilled other legal requirement.
