Former Punjab IG Shaukat Javed has strongly rejected contents of a news report appearing in Pakistan Today accusing him of planning to manipulate the next provincial elections for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). In a statement, Mr Javed said that he had held no meeting with either any PML-N leader or the additional inspector general of the Special Branch in the last one year. He said further that no person had ever accused him of being involved in rigging the last general elections. “During my service, I earned a reputation of sound integrity and impartiality in political matters,” Mr Javed said in his statement.
