JI slams ‘meddling’ in elections

F.P. Report

LAHORE: Jamaat-i-Islami (JI) senior leader Liaquat Baloch has decried alleged “meddling” in the elections, claiming that the results were manipulated to achieve “results of one’s choice”.

Addressing a news conference in Lahore on Thursday, Liaquat Baloch said, “In Pakistani politics, there is a game that 30-40 constituencies are targeted and the results are changed and engineering is done for governance. This interference took place in 1977 as well and these matters become apparent during each election,” he added.

Liaquat Baloch alleged that under a “set formula, 30-35 constituencies are targeted to achieve the results of one’s choice so that for the next five years, politics, democracy and the parliament remain under the powerful institutions”.
