Earlier, former Punjab chief minister Shehbaz Sharif claimed of massive rigging at polling stations across the country.
"PML-N’s polling agent was pushed out of the polling station in DG Khan whereas situation of the incident is available. Today’s incidents have pushed Pakistan 30 years back," he said.
