Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Syed Munawar Hasan said on Monday that verification of the electoral lists in Karachi was actually an attempt to rig polls as this process had been hijacked by a terrorist party. Hasan told the JI office bearers that verification of the lists was a fraud as people deputed to prepare and verify electoral lists were being threatened and workers of a particular party were being placed at several areas instead of the assigned teachers.
He said no one would believe in the election results if this process was not made transparent, adding that bogus electoral lists were being prepared which would render the whole electoral process a farce.
