Pakistan: PTI concerned about rigging reflective of their fear of defeat

Senior politician Javed Hashmi said Thursday that PTI's concern over possible rigging in the upcoming by-election in NA-149 were reflective of PTI leaders' fear of defeat as they had realised that the contest was one-sided in his favour.
Addressing a press conference here, he said neither he nor Shah Mahmood ever made allegations of rigging in 2013 general elections. He claimed that Shah Mahmood had told PTI's Parliamentary party that 2013 elections were not rigged on a massive scale.
He said in Pakistan rigging allegations were a common phenomenon.
He condemned Indian aggression at the LoC and said the government should take up Kashmir issue with the UN and seek its resolution as per the world body's resolutions in this regard. Hashmi said PTI public meeting on October 10 would not benefit its candidate.
He said he had always opposed protest through sit-in during PTI's core committee meetings, as the same was a futile exercise.
