Federal Minister for Information Pervaiz Rashid said on Sunday that general election 2013 was the fairest and most transparent in the country’s history, as for the first time poll rosters having voters’ pictures were used.
He said that PTI chief Imran Khan was maligning all including democracy, government and other institutions. Talking to PTV News, he said the result of this very practice of the PTI chief would have adverse effects on the country.
The minister said if the practice of invading and attacking the system was established in the country, attention from all other important issues, including terrorism, would divert.
If there was any deficiency or irregularity in the election then all the political parties should work collectively to remove them, he added. Pervaiz Rashid urged Imran Khan to come to the parliament and play his part, if he wanted some amendments in the Constitution.
Regarding the report of NADRA about five polling stations of NA 125, the minister said PTI’s Hamid Khan had won from there.

@Saghir No one is challenging recount but methods of recount. If you grow up and try to understand Law, recounting requires certain procedures. PTI needs to follow the procedure and give evidence. @Azi The indication is entirely in PTI won polling stations.
Per Pervaiz Rashid, if 2013 general elections were the fairest and most transparent in the country’s history then, why they are challengingthe recount in the court?
Remember Geobles?He was Hitler's Minister of Information.Democratic States do not have Information Ministers.Authoritarian regimes do have because they do not represent people as is the case here.
This statement of Mr Rasheed made me to Laugh & Laugh
Which is why:
Early reports indicate rigging in Saad Rafeeq's position NA speaker trying his best to overturn the recount decision Sudden increase in construction projects by Nawaz to show his dying support some deliverance.If after all this people still dont wake up, then they deserve to be a doomed nation.
LOL!!
