Minister of State for Information Technology and PML-N leader Anusha Rehman criticised Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Friday, accusing its chief Imran Khan of misleading the judicial commission probing into the alleged rigging in the 2013 general elections. She said this while talking to media persons outside the Supreme Court of Pakistan.
"Imran Khan has so far been unable to present evidence of rigging. They are only trying to delay the inquiry," she alleged, adding the PML-N had not requested for any in-camera meeting of the judicial commission. "If there is such a request PTI should bring it to the notice of public," she said.
Anusha accused the PTI of continuing with their container-styled politics and creating problems in the judicial inquiry. "Imran Khan should first explain the 30,000 extra ballot papers printed in his NA-71 constituency. This formula also applies to the constituencies from where PTI won the election," she added.
Talking about details of extra ballot papers printed in past elections, she said that printing of extra ballot papers was a standard practice. "The number is rounded up to a hundred for every polling station. If 1201 ballots are required for a polling station, then 1300 ballots are printed for it," she said.
"If they (the PTI leaders) have not yet understood this simple arithmetic, then I'm sure they will soon make sense of it," she said. PML-N leader Danial Aziz claimed that it has been proved from the statement of the managing director of the printing corporation that army personnel were deployed both inside and outside printing presses during printing of ballot papers. "The printing press was completely under control of the army from the first day to the last," he said.
