Free and fair election is right and demand of every citizen, A sensible charter of demands. 1- 99.99% fool proof electoral system first(what if rigging proved N govt was behind it, should we again rely on failed electoral system for reelection). 2- Recounting of votes N verification process. If it’s proved that it is rigged N substantial evidences r there that PM Sharif was behind, reelection should happen. If there is no evidence PM sharif was behind they should rule for the rest of tenure. (No justice acceptable on principle: to robe peter to pay Paul, In Pakistan every examination is cheated so for those 10% who cheat we can’t demand cancelation of degrees of rest of 90%) 3- Whoever is culprit of rigging after concrete evidence from position (to gain power) or opposition (to create anarchy and chaos for state enemies), severe capital punishment should be given, so that history think 100 times before repeating itself.
