Summary MQM has challenged the results of recently held by-polls in the apex court.

 

LAHORE: A writ has been filed in Supreme Court Registry saying that open rigging was committed during Punjab by-polls.


A delegation led by MQM Central Executive Committee member Anwar Shaheen reached the Supreme Court Registry Lahore where Advocate Qazi Mubeen filed a writ petition.

The petitioner prays that stern legal action should be taken against the responsible persons.
