Army should take the responsibility for free and fair elections in Karachi. ECP should make all the necessary arrangements for re-election on all seats of Karachi and Hyderabad.
There are lot of polling stations in Karachi and Hyderabad where turn out is more than 90%. How is it possible. I think this evidence is enough for ECP. Elections should be again held on all seats of Karachi and Hyderabad.
There should be re-polling in all constituencies of Karachi and Hyderabad. Army should be deployed at all polling stations.
MQM complained of rigging in Karachi?! Now that's funny!!
