ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) expressed serious concerns over non-provision of Form 45 to PTI polling agents even after lapse of several hours seemingly under a malicious plot to the change the results after sensing the clear victory of PTI’s candidates despite all attempts to rig and manipulate the elections.
PTI Chief Election Observer Brigadier (retd) Muhammad Musaddiq Abbasi demanded that the Elections Commission of Pakistan (ECP) should ensure instant provision of Form 45 to PTI polling agents because no-provision of Form 45 after concluding polling process was a clear violation of elections rules and regulations and a systematic and shameful attempt to rig elections.
However, PTI Chief Election Observer vowed that the nation would not tolerate and accept any bid to manipulate the polls results come what may.
He stated that as PTI-back candidates were clearly leading the electoral race across the country; hence they resorted to new tactics to deny provision of the Form 45 to PTI polling agents to alter the results of the elections.
Musaddiq revealed that they were receiving complaints from various constituencies across the country that PTI polling agents were not being provided Form 45 despite completion of the elections process long ago.
He stated that PTI candidates were not providing Form 45 in National Assembly constituencies including NA-6, NA-10, NA-41, NA-43, NA-44, NA-71, NA-150, NA-151, NA-209, NA-242 and several others hitherto.
Musaddiq went on to say that PTI’s workers and polling agents were subjected to torture by the police and all sorts of attempts to sabotage and disrupt the polling process.
He urged that the electoral watchdog should take the notice of these incidents and ensure provision of Form 45 to the candidates sans any further delay.
Musaddiq demanded that the electoral body should take strict action against the staff involved in these irregularities and punish them.
He made it clear that Pakistani nation would not accept any polls fraud attempt at any cost.
