Summary Taking a strong exception to display of weapons Sattar has urged SC to take notice.
KARACHI: MQM deputy convener Farooq Sattar on Saturday raised questions on the display of weapons during the by-polls in Punjab.
Addressing a public gathering in Karachi, he said that religious and political leaders have been speaking a lot about weapons in Karachi, demanding door-to-door searches and army operation, but were silent about display of weapons in Punjab.
Sattar said it was hypocrisy by these leaders.
He urged the government to take notice of show and use of weapon.
“If this has happened in by-polls, what will happen in the general elections,” he said
He also accused that state machinery was used in order to force the voters.
If the Supreme Court took a suo motu notice over the violence in Karachi, why it was not taking notice over the blatant display of weapons during elections and political rallies in Punjab and gross violations of Election Commission’s code of conduct, he asked.
