Pakistan Muslim League-Q leader and Senior Federal Minister for Defence Production & Industries Chaudhry Parvez Elahi has called the victory of Chaudhry Akbar Ibrahim, a PML backed candidate in AJK election from LA-34, Jammu-V Gujrat constituency as a living proof of Pakistan Muslim League's popularity in the masses.
Elahi said N-League, despite breaking all election rigging records in Punjab had to face a crushing defeat in the AJK election. This defeat had frustrated N-League's lust for power and will continue to haunt them day and night, he added. He further said that AJK elections in Lahore were sabotaged by N-League on sensing an imminent defeat and a rejection by the voters. As such, he said, the postponement in AJK election in Punjab was a clear proof of the Punjab govt's poor mismanagement. He said that the claimants of good governance had failed to ensure smooth election even in one constituency.
Elahi said that N-League's rigging in last year's Gujrat by-election had also been reported by the media. He declared that Pakistan Muslim League was a winner in every unrigged election and was a highly popular party in all four provinces, Gilgit & Baltistan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir.
