Niazi should resign after Daska by-polls inquiry report: Shahbaz

Staff Reporter
Islamabad

PML-N President and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif on Sunday commented on the recently released report of the Election Commission of Pakistan regarding rigging in the Daska by-polls and said that if Imran Niazi has the slightest respect for the law, democracy, and should resign.

In an official statement, Shahbaz said that after being exposed for stealing votes in the Daska by-polls, Imran Niazi needed the “black electoral reforms, the National Accountability Bureau Amendment Ordinance, and electronic voting machines “ to cover his government’s wrongdoing.

“Since the ECP has published the inquiry report of the Daska by-elections, action should be taken [against the government] now,” he said, adding that the PTI is making attempts to “rob and snatch people’s right to vote”.

It should be noted that two days ago, the ECP had released an inquiry report about the Daska by-polls being rigged and had revealed that the election officials and other government functionaries “did not play their designated role in a req-uisite manner [and] they were found puppets in the hands of their unlawful masters”.
