JI’s Liaquat Baloch decries ‘interference’ in elections

LAHORE: Jamaat-i-Islami leader (JI) Liaquat Baloch has decried alleged “interference” in the electoral process, claiming that the results were manipulated to achieve “results of one’s choice”.

Addressing a press conference in Lahore, Baloch said, “In Pakistan’s politics, there is a game that 30-40 constituencies are targeted and the results are changed and engineering is done for [acquiring] governance. “This interference took place in 1977 as well and these matters become apparent during each election,” he added.

The JI leader alleged that under a “set formula, 30-35 constituencies are targeted to achieve the results of one’s choice so that for the next five years, politics, democracy and the parliament remain under the powerful institutions”.
