KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) held an emergency press conference on Saturday claiming that bogus voting and rigging was taking place across the country, especially in Karachi.
MQM deputy convener Dr Farooq Sattar said that ballot papers reached some polling stations right on time, but failed to reach several polling stations even after 11am.
“At several polling stations, including Oxford Academy School, there are reports of army being inside the polling stations which is clearly against the Election Commission’s code of conduct,” Sattar said.
He said that the administration is holding the army and Rangers responsible for not being able to avert problems being faced at the polling stations.
“This is the opposite free, fair and transparent elections,” he said.
The MQM leader also condemned the blasts that took place in Karachi earlier during the day.

"there are reports of army being inside the polling stations which is clearly against the Election Commission’s code of conduct,” Sattar said.--------------- Do we still have any doubt
when they started the 2 months back changing the constituency in legal or illegal way this has to happen .
@ Mehran Khan - Everybody that the MQM is winning all the way! No need to show hostility, after all....
I was born and raised in Karachi and in F B Area, witnessed these kind of rigging in almost all the elections in Karachi. In 2008, when i was out to vote, surprised to know that it was already cast, and every one know in whose favor. please stop pretend to be innocent when every one knows the the reality of Namaloom afraad.
