Imran Khan’s successful sit-in organised at Bagh-e-Naran Square in Peshawar for two days (23-24 April) shook many political leaders both in the treasury and opposition benches.
In his address, Imran Khan said the people of Pakistan were ready to stand up against the corrupt government and defend the country from US hegemony. In reply, the Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani had only to say that no harm could be done to the elected government and the person who could not win a single seat in the assembly has no power to bring change or words to that effect.
There cannot be a bigger scam than having bogus votes in millions polled in an election.
The statistics also show that our parliamentarians have come to the assemblies/government through bogus votes and as a result of massive rigging.
According to the ECP, there are about 80 million registered voters out of which about 40 percent votes were polled in the last general elections.
This means only 32 million votes were polled. Now coming to the percentage of bogus votes, we know a petition in the Supreme Court has been filed with solid evidence that there are about 37 million bogus votes in the electoral rolls lying with the ECP.
From the above it is proved that with the exception of few, the rest are all bogus parliamentarians.
So one can safely say, it is not a government that has been elected by the majority of the people. Free, fare and transparent elections with genuine votes would definitely bring a real elected government.
