ISLAMABAD: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) called upon all political parties to respect the May 11 verdict given by the people and observe maximum restraint.
In a press statement on Monday, it said that taking note of protests by some political parties against the results, the HRCP wanted to remind all parties that the democratic process which had been revived in the country must not be disrupted.
The commission claimed that upon its findings, it did not find any credible evidence of large-scale or systematic rigging in the country.

Is this really HUMAN RIGHTS Commission? I doubt it?
14 election tribunals are formed by the ECP to inquire about rigging. All evidences should be presented there. Or they should go to the courts to seek appropriate action. Protests and sit-ins are not the solution.
OMG !!!!!! 150% turnout
They should change their name to Human Rights Blind Commission of Pakistan
Lol. Are you crazy HRCP? You want rigging to be whitewashed? We will never let that happen
Are these people blind? Or do they just refuse to believe the truth? We have videos of rigging in so many areas, witnesses, etc. What more do they want as evidence???
