Those who used slogan of 'Give respect to vote' are now purchasing votes: Fawad
He hoped that ECP would take notice on the viral video of PML-N and take appropriate action.
PIND DADAN KHAN (Dunya News) - Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Sunday said that those who used the slogan of Give respect to vote ( Vote ko Izzat Do ) are now purchasing votes for Rs 2,000 each which is a shameful act, Dunya News reported.
He said that a video had gone viral showing those who used the slogan of ‘Vote ko Izzat Do’ purchasing votes for Rs 2,000 each which was a shameful and detestable act.
The minister said, PML-N was worried over the use of electronic voting machine (EVM) in the next general elections because they always came into power through electoral fraud and rigging.
Fawad said he himself had contested a bye election from NA- 67 in 2016 in which the PML-N used undemocratic tactics in the same manner, tried to buy votes by giving money to people.
He hoped that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) would take notice on the viral video of PML-N and take appropriate action.
The minister said properties of Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz were disclosed in Panama Papers leaks.
He said that Maryam Nawaz had claimed that she had no property even in Pakistan but she not only had properties in Pakistan but in London also.
He said that Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz had no proof of purchase of those properties.
Fawad asked Sharifs, if they had receipts and money trail, they should present them to the court, otherwise either they would have to return the looted national wealth or go to jail.
The minister said that Pakistan had no leader of the caliber of Imran Khan who had vote bank from Karachi to Torkham and from Gawadar to Khunjrab. He said that Imran Khan was the only leader who could transform Pakistan into a prosperous country.
He said that the PTI was the only political party which was the symbol of federation and Imran Khan was the only leader who did not talk about sectarianism and provincialism, but only Pakistan.
Apart from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), no political party was in a position to field its candidates in all the national and provincial assembly constituencies.
