ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan will meet Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Justice (retd) Sardar Raza on Monday and share his grievances over the May 2013 elections, party officials said. The PTI chairman has been given the appointment for meeting at 11am, they said.
PTI Information Secretary Dr Shireen Mazari, in a statement, again demanded NA Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq to step down as evidence of rigging in NA-122 was piling up.
She said that Imran’s representatives had examined Forms XIV & XV from a private forensic laboratory for authenticity of signatures of the returning officers and it was found that 50 of them had fake signatures.
Additionally, the same lab’s forensics on handwriting showed that 20 Form XIV had been filled in by one person - thereby destroying their validity, she added. “Both these forensic tests and their results have been accepted by the election tribunal as evidence,” she added.
