KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Sindh President Haleem Adil Sheikh on Sunday said that the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) should tender an apology to the nation or be ready to face Article 6 for the “stealing mandate of the public.”
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, flanked by PTI Sindh general secretary Advocate Ali Palh and others, he said that the CEC first all failed to hold elections within time, committing “contempt of people and their mandate.”
Haleem Adil Sh said that yesterday Commissioner Rawalpindi exposed the “worst election fraud.” He said he himself spent 171 days in jail, where he was put in a death cell and faced more troubles than Kalboshan Yadav.
