LAHORE, June 28 (TNS): Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday demanded caretaker government and Election Commission of Pakistan to give all political parties a “level playing field”.
In series of tweets, Shehbaz Sharif said election commission had the responsibility to conduct fair, free and transparent polls.
Shehbaz said National Accountability Bureau’s actions had raised questions on the fairness of election process, expressing hope that the ECP would take notice of it.
He said the anti-graft body should dispel the perception that the PML-N was on its target.
“Discriminatory action against candidates of political parties during the election campaign is undesirable,” the PML-N president said.
“We have presented ourselves for accountability before the court of the people. Let the people’s court pass its verdict on July 25.”
In his statement issued to the media, Shehbaz said that his party had failed such tactics through verdicts of the people’s court in the past as well. “It is unjust to hold our politics of service as an offence.”
He said the arrest of his party’s candidate from NA-59 Qamarul Islam during the election campaign was condemnable, expressing serious concern over it.
