Maryam said that her party fought hard but it is not easy to deal with fraud.
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Vice-President Maryam Nawaz has out rightly refused to accept the results of the Azad Kashmir Legislative Assembly polls as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) sweeps the elections.
Taking to Twitter, PML-N Vice-President said that her party fought hard but it is not easy to deal with fraud.
"I have not accepted the results and will not. I have not even acknowledged the results of this fake government. Congratulations to the workers and voters. What will be the course of action on this shameless fraud, the party will decide soon, God willing," Maryam tweeted.
"PML-N has fought a very good election, has fought hard. It is not easy to deal with all the centers of state and power and fraud. I would like to commend all the voters and workers of PML-N for their courage and bravery. I am very proud of them," she said in a subsequent tweet.
On the other hand, Chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday said that his party has emerged as largest opposition party in Azad Kashmir despite irregularities.
