Summary Says electoral process was completely sabotaged with worst rigging in the history of the province.
QUETTA (Web Desk) - Former chief minister of Balochistan and President of Balochistan National Party-Mengal (BNP-M) Akhtar Mengal has said that the electoral process was completely sabotaged with the worst rigging in the history of the province.
Addressing a press conference on Monday, he said that his party wanted to publicise the facts and figure of rigging in Balochistan.
Mengal said that the people of Balochistan were prevented from participating in the election process and criticized the authorities for conducting unfair elections in the entire Balochistan.
He said that the mandate of Baloch people was changed overnight, for which the BNP would once again go to the people of the province and would ask them whether to say good-by to assemblies as a protest or play effective role in the assemblies for the protection and safety of Baloch people.
Mengal said that his party participated in the election process to pull the province out of prevailing crisis, end the ongoing operations and bring economic prosperity. He said that he had predicted that the elections would be rigged especially in the Balochistan province and the May 11 results have proved his claim. He said that very soon they would issue a white paper on rigging in the elections.
He said that he time and again informed the Election Commission of Pakistan regarding the rigging plan by the authorities and wrote it two letters but it did not take any action.
Akhtar Mengal to a query said that the authorities didn’t give mandate to the Baloch people because they wanted to fulfill their nefarious designs.
He said that a committee has been constituted to prepare report about the rigging in election, adding that the report would be submitted to the party chief in a month time. He said that during the period, the party would seek public opinion at mass contact programme.
