Adnan Siddiqi | 9 years ago | Reply After Niazi's shameless admission that rigging did take place in these sham and ludicrous LB polls, there is just no point in KPK government sticking to its office so unscrupulously. We demand the immediate dissolution of KPK government and re-polls conducted under an interim setup.
