DASKA Polls Lifts-Up many secrets: NAWAZ
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader Nawaz Sharif on Friday said that the alleged rigging in the Daska by-polls has “lifted the curtain from many secrets”, adding that it was necessary to get to the bottom of this investigation.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday had declared a last week’s by-election for a National Assembly (NA) seat in a Sialkot constituency — a seat in Daska Tehsil of the city which fell vacant after the demise of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MP Sahibazada Syed Iftikharul Hassan Shah in August — as null and void and ordered the government to hold re-election on March 18.
In a press statement, the ECP had said it had suspected that the results of 20 polling stations in the constituency had been falsified because it received the results of the constituency with “unnecessary delay”.
In a live video stream shared from his Twitter account on Friday evening, Nawaz said that "it should be investigated who did this conspiracy and when and where was it prepared."
He said it was surprising that so many people, from the likes of the Punjab chief secretary and inspector general of police to the deputy commissioner, DSP and "the army of other government officials", were all part of the conspiracy. "Who made them stand in one line?"
