LAHORE: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) (Workers) leadership on Tuesday alleged that the pre-poll rigging is in full swing in the NA-120 constituency to maneuver the result of NA-120 by-polls in favour of Kalsoom Nawaz, the spouse of the ex-ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
These views were expressed by PPP-Workers leader Naheed Khan and party’s president ex-senator Dr Safdar Abbasi during a door to door election campaign in the localities of Panorama, Anarkali and the adjacent markets. On this occasion, the other party leaders including Sardar Hur Bukhari, Saleem Khan, Aamna Zaidi, Ibn-e-Rizvi and the contesting candidate for NA-120 ex-MPA Sajida Mir were also present.
Naheed Khan said that the mission of the slain leadership of the PPP is at the hands of the diehard ideological workers who will surprise their political opponents in the upcoming general elections.
She said that the rulers who consider Punjab and Lahore to be their feudal tenement will be brought to justice soon.
She further said the pitiable condition of the people of this constituency is now before the world and the suppressed strata of the society was seeking opportunity to take revenge from the elite rulers; this opportunity has come in the by-poll elections which are being held on September 17.
Naheed Khan said that the rulers at one hand claimed that they are champions of the democratic rule but on the other hand, they are using all available government resources to maneuver the results of the by-polls in NA-120 through rigging in favor of their candidate.
