Islamabad, July 23 (TNS): Senior leader of PPP Khursheed Shah on Monday expressed concerns over transparency of upcoming general polls.
Talking to journalists in Karachi, former opposition leader in National Assembly claimed that a level playing field is not being provided to all political parties.
“Disqualify them, lock them up, and hand the election to Sheikh Rasheed,” Shah said referring to the life imprisonment sentence awarded to Pakistan Muslim-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hanif Abbasi in the ephedrine quota case just three days ahead of general elections.
“I’ve my political differences with the PML-N, but I take exception to the judgement against him [Abbasi] ,” he said.
“The message we’re giving to the public is that he [Abbasi] was disqualified to hand the election to Sheikh Rasheed,” Shah said.
Referring to PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif’s conviction in the Avenfield case, he said that court’s decision coincided with this week’s general elections.
“Even his [Nawaz’s] bail hearing has been fixed after July 25,” he added.
