NA 252, CAMS school - open rigging! Police standing aside and letting the hoodlums get away with it. Please take notice!
@Nadia:
Me too. I went at 9 in a MQM-dominated middle-class area of Karachi, and aside from the hour-long line everything went without a hitch. My polling station was a primary school, there wasn't a single party worker or even a banner in sight inside the polling station, the staff and policemen were very helpful and cooperative (the police were even assisting the elderly so they didn't have to wait in line outdoors). But election rigging is a sad reality in this city.
Latest:
NA 252 - CAMS School - Poling station taken over, peoepl asked to leave, gates closed. Fake votes are being openly casted inside.
NA 250 - Phase 4 - Still no staff.
ET - the picture is not from Karachi. That is incorrect. The picture is from Punjab, NA 117 I think.
Please check before you post things like this. You dont need to pick up every story from Facebook!

Election Commission should do something ..!!!!!!!
