not election It’s selection: PML-N rejects PTI intra-party polls
Only Nawaz Sharif can pull country out of crisis: Amir Muqam
LAHORE/Peshawar_– The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Saturday raised objections to the intra-party elections held by the rival party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in line with the directives of the Election Commission of Pakistan.
The reaction comes after Barrister Gohar Ali Khan got elected unopposed chairman of the embattled Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) earlier in the day. The party was given 20 days by the ECP to hold fresh elections to retain the election symbol of ‘cricket bat’.
PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb called the PTI intra-party polls a process of “selection”, saying it was completed in the blink of eye. She described its as an attempt by the PTI to deceive its workers.
“It was a strange election which was held at a secret place with no voters list, presiding officer,” she said. The founding leaders and workers of the PTI were excluded from the election process out of fear, the PML-N bigwig quipped.
“It is called selection and dictatorship and it is nothing but a joke with founding members of the party as there was no level playing field for them,” she said, adding that a lack of transparency in the intra-party elections should be out in the open.
While,
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Amir Muqam said on Saturday that only former prime minister Nawaz Sharif can steer the country out of the crisis.
Addressing a press conference in Swat, Muqam said: “Only Nawaz Sharif and his team have the solution to all problems. Nawaz Sharif had left no stone unturned in a bid to serve the masses despite facing trials and tribulations.”
He schooled the opponents, saying, “The politics of the politicians in the past revolved around vendetta.”
