NWFP Governor Khalilur Rehman has warned the NWFP government not to interfere in the local council elections. "If interference goes beyond bounds, action will be taken," he told reporters at Governor's House. "The provincial ministers are impeding free and fair elections. We are monitoring the situation and will take action if necessary," he said. However, he did not say what type of action was being considered against the provincial government.
| My guess would be ineffectual action... |
"I will talk to the chief minister" about his government's interference in the local council elections, said Rehman. "No interference will be tolerated." |
