Pak Human Rights Commission reports massive fallacies in Gilgit-Baltistan elections | The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) while expressing satisfaction over the peaceful Gilgit-Baltistan elections has pointed out several fallacies during
the polls. HRCP's special observation team reported that the whole poll procedure was marred by flaws, which was caused by the hurriedly organised elections and
insufficient preparations. The mission also received numerous complaints that
the about government representatives, including Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani,
members of his cabinet and the acting-governor of Gilgit-Baltistan, trying to
woo voters at misutilizing government's money. The PML-N, PML-Q, MQM and several
independent candidates expressed serious reservations about the role of the Gilgit-Baltistan
acting-governor Qamar Zaman Kaira, who actively campaigned for the PPP candidates,
The Dawn reports. The HRCP observers also found that the ink claimed to be indelible
was easily removable. At many polling stations arrangements for secrecy of ballot
were either absent or inadequate. Earlier, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had
termed the polls as 'free' and 'fair'. Responding to the allegations of poll rigging
made by Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan,
Gilani said it has almost became a tradition to blame the party in power. "This
is our tradition to level rigging allegation. But I assure the House that the
election in Gilgit-Baltistan has been free and fair," Gilani said. |
