Pakistan's CEC, Chief Justice involved in rigging of polls, alleges senior bureaucrat

New Indian Express  

ISLAMABAD: A senior Pakistani bureaucrat has stirred a hornet's nest by alleging widespread rigging aided by the judiciary and top election body in last week's poll against jailed former prime minister Imran Khan's party. As Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chattha resigned from his post, taking the “responsibility for all this wrongdoing,” Chief Justice of Pakistan Qazi Faez Isa termed his allegations as “baseless”. The Election Commission of Pakistan strongly rejected it and Khan's rival party, the Pakistan Muslim League-N called it a case of “political allegiance” dictating the bureaucrat's claims. ”PTI's two main rivals, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's PML-N and Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari's Pakistan People's Party formed a post-poll alliance earlier this week.
