Punjab Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf organiser Chaudhary Sarwar has suggested that the Election Commission stop acting as "the ruling government's B team". He has warned that his party will stage a general protest in the province against the Election Commission, if it fails to take measures to foil the ruling party's rigging plans.
In a speech on Wednesday at the opening of the election office of NA-122 and PP-147 by-election candidates Abdul Aleem Khan and Shoaib Siddiqui in Garhi Shahu, the party organiser said the Local Bodies' elections without the deployment of the army and the rangers would be "selection, instead of election".
In his speech he also denied that there were rifts within the party ranks, claiming that they were all united under party chief Imran Khan's leadership. He then accused the Election Commission of failing to take note of the ruling party's plans and actions despite clear-cut reservations by all opposition parties. He claimed that the commission was "losing its credibility and turning into a B team of the ruling party."
