RAWALPINDI – The first draft of the classified documents for the 2023 elections, available exclusively with The Dependent, has made some startling revelations about the future of our country.
The most ominous of these, The Dependent would like to pinpoint, is the fact that the original draft completely misspelt the world ladla that is used to describe Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) Chief Khadim Rizvi, in the context of the next election.
While the classified document reveals that Rizvi will be staging a four month long protest in Islamabad, with irrefutable evidence that there was rigging in the country and hence the elections should take place again, what the document also underscores is that the alphabets in ladla are rearranged to describe the man who can only be called the harbinger of the next change in the country.
Whether the rearrangement, or the misspelling was intentional or a mistake, could not be ascertained, but The Dependent has reliably learnt that the classified document has been sent for a retype.
“Yes, instructions have been issued to retype the document,” a well-placed source told The Dependent. It is only after getting hold of the next draft can we ascertain the cause and means of the tabdeeli.
