Raza Naqvi Attock
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed independent candidate Syed Ejaz Hussain Bukhari advocate who was elected from provincial assembly constituency PP-3, Attock in the general elections held on February 8 has announced to join the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC). He was addressing press conference at Attock on Wednesday.
Flanked with former provincial minister for social welfare Syed Yawar Boukhari and PTI focal person Syed Khawar Boukhari, he said that acting in line with party decision, he has decided to join right-wing party Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) as part of their parliamentary strategy. He said that the party has decided to sit on the opposition benches and launch a countrywide campaign against alleged rigging in the polls.
“I have decided to join the SIC for the development and prosperity of my constituency and its people,” he said. “I have made this decision unconditionally. I hope the SIC and its leadership would meet the promise and initiate development schemes and projects in my area. I would always remain committed to my cause of serving the people of my constituency.” Responding a question, he was of the view that the February 8 general elections would be remembered due to the “biggest vote fraud” in Pakistan’s history against the party and its candidates.
“Snatching its iconic election symbol of bat, not allowing the party’s candidates to submit nomination papers, coercing candidates into withdrawing from elections and denying the party the right to canvas, but look at how the people expressed their anger through ballot paper which is eye opener for all.”
