What about Karachi which there was massive rigging?. Especially nA 250
There should be re-polling in entire Karachi under Army
This is insanity! ECP failed miserably today in ensuring free and fair elections, specially in Karachi where there was an overwhelming support of PTI at the polling stations yet the outcome shows MQM is ahead! INSANE!!
Self praise is no praise.
Must Be Kidding
Only time will expose if this election as claimed was fair etc;
no candidate were disqualified against fake degree, loan defaulter, unpaid utility bills, tax defaulters etc;....all these were cleared by the candidates just few weeks before filing papers.Even those fake degree holders were let off to contest election after clearance by the electoral tribunal...are these fair ? this not fair, transparent & free election.....I totally second Salman. He used the words "responsibility" "fair" "transparent" .. i am sure he does not know anything about these 3 words. "Talking to newsmen in Islamabad‚ he said the Commission would bring the true picture of what happened in Karachi before the nation." Oh - as if we have not seen enough!! What true picture is he talking about? the fabricated one?
I do not think so. What happened in NA 250 DHA Ph4 polling station? Where there were no staff and ballot papers? We as a citizen need to know the reason behind this. This purely proves that there is something wrong there which is causing people not to vote. It is not about PTI, MQM or any other politica party, it is about the right of being a Pakistani citizen.

Seems like he just got up from bed! Karachi and Saad Rafique just look into it!!
I don't think so... I myself saw vidoe's of dhandli... Check social media Sir g...

even saw people bringing in already filled ballot boxes and asking people to leave as their votes have been casted... its soo UNFAIR..
Are you kidding me!? You call these free and fair elections? I wonder what rigged elections would be, if whatever happened today was a fair procedure
