Rabbani questions caretaker's ability to conduct fair election

Former Chairman Senate Mian Raza Rabbani on Saturday questioned the the ability of caretaker government and Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for ensuring holding free, fair, transparent and imperial elections which was being held on July 25.

Resuming last day’s debate on law and order situation, he said, the caretaker government was not imperial as it had failed to fulfill its constitutional obligations regarding across the board facilitation of holding free elections.

He claimed that the voters and candidates were being pressurized and ECP was not taking any action to rectify the situation.

Raza Rabbani claimed, Election Commission of Pakistan had failed to block the participation of 250 candidates of proscribed organization.

ECP did not share the information of proscribed organisation candidates with interior ministry and National Counter Terrorism Authority Pakistan (NACTA), adding there were reports a minister of the Punjab government was in touch these organisation.

The ECP should answer as to how the nomination papers of such candidates were accepted, he questioned.

He also criticized the “censorship” on media adding media is integral part for holding free, fair and transparent elections.
