PTI's rigging allegations baseless, says PML-N
2013-05-16
[Pak Daily Times] PML-N leaders have rejected PTI allegations of election rigging as baseless, saying that if the leaders of "Imran's party" have any evidence of rigging, then they should produce it before the election commission instead of merely protesting.

The leaders including Zaeem Ahmad Qadri, Mian Naseer Ahmad and others were addressing a presser at the DHA Office of Khawaja Saad Rafiq, who was a National Assembly candidate from NA-125.

They said the PTI was only focusing on DHA polling station, but in the constituency of NA-125 there are several other polling stations including many villages where PML-N have swept in the general election. They said the Lahore High Court has already rejected the petition filed by the losing candidate Hamid Khan, throwing allegations of rigging the constituency.

"People have elected PML-N candidate Khawaja Saad Rafiq on National Assembly seat and also elected Zaeem Ahmad Qadri and Mian Naseer Ahmad on provincial assembly seats because of their work in the constituency as well as in Punjab." They also said that their party built two new colleges and also renovated around 50 schools in the NA-125 constituency.

The PML-N leaders criticised PTI's protest in DHA, saying that the party should accept the mandate of the people who have elected PML-N with a heavy majority. They said that Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five...
should ask the participants of the protest to go back home because other people of the city are disturbed and participants themselves could become a target of terrorists.
