Afraid Punjab Govt. resorted to worst rigging through police:Agha

Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League Central Information Secretary Senator Kamil Ali Agha has said that afraid of sure defeat in the bye-elections, Punjab Govt. used all govt. machinery and resources and the Code of Ethics of the Election Commission of Pakistan was shattered into pieces in an unprecedented manner, provincial govt. had made victory and defeat in the bye-elections matter of life and death and N-League workers on the polling stations with the help of police forcibly snatched ballot papers from the hands of voters and themselves stamped these.

Talking to media during visit to different polling stations in the bye-election to NA-107 Gujrat today, Senator Kamil Ali Agha said that N-League resorted to worst rigging with the help of administration and police; we expected this from N-League govt. because it is the tradition of N-League to indulge in rigging in the elections.
