Federal govt should refrain from interfering in GB elections: Bilawal Bhutto
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, while presiding over the meeting of Parliamentary Board on Gilgit-Baltistan elections, said that PTI is synonymous with rigging, it should refrain from interfering in the Gilgit-Baltistan elections.
He said that Gilgit-Baltistan is a geographically important region and all possible steps should be taken to make its election fair and transparent. There will be no tolerance for rigging as election meddling in such a sensitive region will be a national security risk.
Chairman PPP said that people of GB love PPP and they have always shown their respect through public mandate, as they will in the coming elections.
He directed all candidates to spread PPP’s manifesto door to door in all the districts of Gilgit-Baltistan and in their respective constituencies so that the people could cast their valuable votes to strengthen the relationship between the party and the region.
He further said that in the coming elections, PPP will contest under its 2018 manifesto, which clearly states that PPP will make Gilgit-Baltistan an interim province and take steps to make this a reality.
