SUKKUR:

Leaders of the Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians in a joint press conference on Thursday criticised the Election Commission of Pakistan for paying less attention to conducting free and fair elections and more to the size of banners and posters being used in political campaigns.

Former Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah, Sindh Assembly Speaker Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, former federal minister Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah and former minister Agha Siraj Durrani, addressed the media. They said that the voters in Sindh have increased by 2.2 million but the ECP was decreasing them, giving the reference of Larkana where 17 stations have been decreased.
