Mian Manzoor Ahmed Wattoo, President PPP Punjab, has warned the ruling Party not to use government’s influence in NA (108) in favor of its candidate failing which the PPP will be constrained to write to the Election Commission pointing out the violation of the electoral code of conduct so openly. The announcement of development projects at this point time by the government meant for the constituency is tantamount to pre-poll rigging, he maintained in a statement issued from here today.
He said that he had received reports to the effect that the district administration, Mandi Bahuddin, was under informal instructions from the government to lobby for the PML (N) candidate which was not acceptable. This illicit practice is clearly incompatible to the very essence of democracy and the electoral process, he observed.
He stated that the PPP local leaders and the workers were upbeat about the outcome of the elections results of the by-elections which were being held on June 8. He added that during his Chief Ministership he made Mandi Bahuddin as district out of Gujrat enabling the people to avail themselves of district level facilities at the door steps, and it was fresh in their memories as a great relief.
He said that he would address public meeting in Phalia tomorrow (Sunday) in favor of PPP candidate Asef Bhaghat who was contesting the by-elections. Other leaders who would address the meeting included Tanvir Ashraf Kaira, Secretary General PPP Punjab, Ejaz Samman, divisional coordinator, Gujranwala,Dewan Shamim, district president PPP Mandi Bahuddin,Zulfiqar Ranjha, Ashiq Warrich etc.
It may be stated here that the by-elections were being held in NA(108) due to the termination of membership of Ejaz Chaudhry, PTI , by competent authority for holding fake degree.
