General Secretary of Pakistan Ex-Servicemen Association (PESA) Brig Syed Masud-ul-Hassan (retd) on Sunday said election process was far from satisfactory and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is not paying attention to the complaints of rigging. Contestants as well as voters have been protesting across the country staging sit-ins but to no avail, he said.
In a statement he said that what happened in Karachi during the elections resulted in global humiliation which proved that our election process is far from being satisfactory after six decades, why thumb impressions were taken on ballot papers if ECP lacked means of finger prints verification in the disputed constituencies? Was this exercise carried out to give the impression of independence of ECP to the masses, he questioned.
He said employing proper finger print technology to trace out who were the actual voters and also those who tried hijacked the polling process was responsibility of the ECP, he said and added that the top brass of the ECP should accept their failures and take corrective steps.
