#Pakistan #GilgitBaltistanElections2020 - Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari warns of dire consequences if rigging in election is not reversed

 


Pakistan Peoples Party has staged a sit-in against rigging in Gilgit Baltistan elections in front of the deputy commissioner’s office in Gilgit city. The PPP candidate, Jamil Ahmed was leading by 400 votes last night in the final count but in the morning he was shown as trailing by 2 votes.

Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto also joined the protest and addressed the crowd gathered there. In his fiery speech he said that the PPP candidates were pressurized to leave the party and join the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf but each and every one of them remained steadfast with the party except one. He said that when the authorities witnessed the support for PPP by the people of GB from Siachen to Gilgit, they got worried. The election commission started supporting the illegal acts of the PTI ministers. He said that so much so that the chief election commissioner went to Islamabad and held a press conference in Islamabad against opposition instead of stopping government ministers from illegal acts. Even the Prime Minister Imran Khan visited Gilgit.

Chairman PPP said that three seats were clearly snatched from the PPP but warned that no one will be allowed to do so. He said that PPP will continue its protest at every place where rigging has occurred. We will not allow the puppet, the selected and the selectors to steal the elections. The selectors knew that PTI does not exist in Gilgit Baltistan. Everyone knows that the people of GB are with the PPP.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that the people of GB snatched their rights from Dogra Raj and they will again snatch back their rights. Chairman Bilawal said that he is under pressure by the people and warned the powers to be, not to push him to the extent that he takes extreme measures. He asked people to continue their protest and if the seats which were snatched through rigging are not given to the people and the PPP then the protest will go to Islamabad and he will lead that protest. He said that he is not going anywhere till the rights of the people are given to them. Chairman PPP said that if the rigging is not reversed then he will choose an extreme and difficult path but that will be the path to victory. He said that he had already warned to accept the verdict of the people otherwise there will be dire consequence.
