Pakistan - PPP demands rechecking of 65 constituencies' election record

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) demanded to recheck the election record of 65 constituencies on Monday. PPP wants the rechecking of record under the supervision of Additional Session judges. PPP has submitted the answer in judicial commission about alleged rigging in election. According to PPP, much of the record from NA-124 and NA-139 have been destroyed. People s Party requested the commission to issue notices to candidates through returning officers. PPP stated that they are depending on the report of NA-123, NA-118 and NA-124. On the other hand Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) has also submitted the answer in judicial commission on the accusation of rigging. PML-N said in the answer that it is responsibility of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to provide proof of rigging as the burden of proof lies on one who accuses. According to PML-N, the difference between PML-N and PTI votes is more than 70 lac so even if 58 thousand votes proves to be fake, PML-N will not lose.
