Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League (PML) senior central leader and former Deputy Prime Minister Ch Parvez Elahi has said that we are in majority in tehsil Gujrat, Kunjah and Talagang, salute on behalf of entire PML and leadership to the voters who foiled all govt tactics and winning the election for their party candidates, all DCOs and DPOs in the province have escaped from being exiled from Punjab by securing victory for N-League.

Talking to media at his residence Zahoor Elahi Palace in Gujrat, Ch Parvez Elahi said that the DCOs and DPOs have fulfilled the target given by the govt because in failing to do they were given ultimatum of being thrown out of the province. He said all had witnessed that not only children cast votes but also the dead ones.

He said we had informed the Election Commission about all tactics of rigging of the rulers ahead of the election, situation was that inside the polling stations polling staff kept putting stamps and outside police was giving cover to those committing rigging, treatment meted out by the police in Gujrat to a candidate and his family who protested against this open rigging by the polling staff was seen by all on television screens.

He said that Shahbaz Sharif and Nawaz Sharif had broken their own records of pre-poll and polling rigging whereas they have sabotaged the entire system of devolution of powers and distribution of funds at lower level through own Local Govt Act. He said we had allowed our candidates to contest the election to expose the real faces of the rulers who keep clamouring about democracy and transparency. He said none else except N-League is satisfied about the election results, everywhere election of the administration and non-official candidates was formed, we had repeatedly said that DCOs as ROs are active everywhere in pre-poll rigging of N-League and if this was not rectified then the people will forget 2013 and 1977 on rigging in the local bodies election and all had seen this had happened, administration fully demonstrated partiality, even lists of voters for polling stations were tempered in favour of N-League, there was difference in the lists given to the polling staff and non-official candidates and opposition parties people kept looking for votes.
