Bilawal Bhutto, in a series of tweets on Sunday, said that the PTI has sunk to new depths in its attempts to rig local body elections. In DI Khan ANP candidate was assassinated a day before polling, members of his family accused PTI minister of first trying to bribe him and then killing him.
Bilawal tweeted the PPP workers and also urged the ECP to ensure free and fair LB elections in KP. Unveiling the rigging attempts from ruling PTI in elections in his fresh tweets, the PPP chairman said PTI people have been caught red-handed stamping ballot papers before starting polling.
Bilawal said ANP candidate in Dera Ismail Khan was assassinated a day before polling and the members of his family accused the PTI minister of first trying to bribe him then killing him.
Meanwhile, in Peshawar PTI supporters were caught red handed stamping ballot papers the night before polling. All day there have been reports of PTI ransacking polling stations attacking polling staff including women, he added.
Bilwal said that this is what a desperately unpopular government looks like and they are resorting to violence and rigging to try and undermine the people’s choice. PPP Chairman further said that he appeals to the people of Pakhtunkhwa to not be deterred by PTI tactics. He asked PPP workers to report violations to party election cell or directly to ECP. = DNA
