Karachi, July 26 (TNS): After Pakistan Muslim league (N), Pakistan Peoples party also cried foul over alleged rigging in general polls.<\/p>\n
The party held an emergency press conference on Wednesday night to air serious concerns over what it said was the removal of its polling agents from inside polling stations.<\/p>\n
Senator Raza Rabbani said that irregularities were reported from Jacobabad, Badin and other parts of Sindh.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch practices will have dire consequences,\u201d he said. \u201cYou can\u2019t count the votes in the absence of party\u2019s polling agent.\u201d<\/p>\n
The PPP says its polling agents were removed from polling stations.<\/p>\n
The PPP leader said that they felt that the election commission\u2019s secretary-general was not capable of fixing problems. \u201cIt\u2019s beyond his power.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe whole elections could be declared null and void, if the ECP fails to address our grievances,\u201d said Senator Sherry Rehman. She said the results of three constituencies in Malir were stopped. She demanded action against those expelling the party\u2019s polling agents. \u201cWe received over 250 complaints.\u201d<\/p>\n
She claimed her chief polling agent was removed from the polling station.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have been warning against pre-poll rigging since day one,\u201d Raza Rabbani said. \u201cWe had already said that the ECP had failed to provide political parties a level playing field.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the PPP chairman who contested elections from NA-200, NA-246 and NA-8, said his party candidates were complaining that their agents have been thrown out of polling stations across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
