I do not accept the decision of the election tribunal: Khawaja Saad Rafique

Lahore: Federal Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique said I do not accept the verdict of the election tribunal as it does not meet the criteria of fair judgement.The judge found irregularities of the presiding officers and returning officers but he was punished despite the fact that his opponent could not establish the rigging.

While talking to media outside the election tribunal office,after the decision of the tribunal,Khawaja Saad Rafique said that his party would decide whether to challenge the verdict of the Election Tribunal in the Supreme Court or go for by-elections.

He said his rival Hamid Khan failed to prove allegations of rigging and that is why the tribunal did not disqualify him .I am a fighter and had done my politics in the streets of the city.My voters are with me and if PML-N go in by-elections ,he will defeat the PTI worst than before,he maintained.
