Favouritism in election may bear adverse consequences: Chandio warns

HYDERABAD: The Information Secretary of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Moula Bux Chandio has warned that if any attempt was made to favour any individual or political party in the general election the move will bear adverse consequences.

Talking to the media here on Monday, Chandio said the country needed free, fair and transparent elections to strengthen the nascent democratic institutions.

He said the trust of the Pakistan Peoples over the electoral system would solidify if the elections process was conducted transparently.

Chandio said although the caretaker governments were working at the center and the provinces, nowhere else in the world the concept of caretaker governments existed.

The PPP's leader said the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf's leader Imran Khan had kept accusing others of financial wrongdoings but he himself took a chartered plane to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah. "There is no one to question him or hold him accountable," he complained.

He wondered how a man like Zulfi Bukhari whose name was on the black list was allowed to travel to Saudi Arabia along with Khan.
