ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The government has formally offered to investigate the rigging charges in the general elections 2018 by forming a judicial commission.

According to Dunya News sources, the government has decided that the election 2018 can be investigated through a Judicial Commission or a Parliamentary Committee. The proposal was presented to the Maulana Fazlur Rehman through Punjab Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Pervez Elahi.

Earlier, the government earlier proposed the opposition that a judicial commission could be formed to investigate the charges of rigging in the elections.

“We reject the proposal to set up a commission and are firm on our demand for re-election,” said Fazlur Rehman.

When the opposition rejected the commission’s offer, the government then offered either revival of the parliamentary committee on election rigging or even formation of a new committee.
