| The PTI's newest mantra |
| 2015-10-21 |
| [DAWN] THE PTI now plans to go to international forums to amend what it describes as a "stolen electoral verdict". One thought the rigging controversy would be over after the NA-122 by-election. But the PTI is certainly not willing to give up. Refusing to accept the result, the party now wants to take the battle to the international arena. Former governor Chaudhry Mohammed Sarwar, who has emerged as the second-most powerful person in the PTI hierarchy, says he will raise the issue of "new rigging techniques of the PML-N" with the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... and the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... . Surely, there is no limit to this absurdity. One wonders what this "new rigging technique" is all about and why it requires international attention. What does the PTI expect these multilateral agencies to do? Fix the polls for next time? One cannot expect such a ridiculous stance from a serious political party. This mindless agitation and histrionics cannot take the party anywhere. The move to raise the issue of alleged electoral rigging at international forums exposes the party's irrational political behaviour. |
