ISLAMABAD:
In a written argument, Pakistan Muslim League Quaid (PML Q) has requested the inquiry commission probing alleged rigging in the 2013 elections to assign the task to Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) to find out who the manipulator was.
“Use the investigating agencies/teams available at the disposal of the honorable commission under section 6(2) of the General Election 2013 Inquiry Commission Ordinance, 2015 to find out who manipulated/influenced the election pursuant to a systematic effort by design, as rest of the two aspects of the TORs ie (i) result has been materially affected; and (ii) the PML-N [Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz] is the beneficiary, have already been proved”, says the reply, filed by PML-Q attorneys Dr Khalid Ranjha and Mobeenuddin Qazi.
They contended that the commission would have to seek the services of the country’s investigating agencies which are not under the political influence of the government in power to collect further corroborative evidence.
