Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has urged the Chief, Election Commissioner (EC) to immediately intervene and stop the voters registration exercise in Sindh from being hijacked by a coalition partner in the provincial government.
In a statement on Saturday, Sindh PPP President, Syed Qaim Ali Shah said that the credibility of the entire exercise of voters' registration had been thrown into doubt because a coalition partner in Sindh government had forcibly taken over the task of enumeration from the enumerators appointed by the EC.
He said that soon after the schedule for house count and preparation of electoral lists was announced complaints of manipulation started pouring from Karachi and also from some other Districts of Sindh. After the take over of the workers of the political party the work on enumeration of houses had come to a stand still and fake voters lists were being made in Karachi, he said.
He said that in District west, voters belonging to other areas were included in the constituencies that were traditionally dominated by the PPP supporters. Several other areas and houses have been deliberately left out from the count, he said.
The PPP Sindh President said that a Party delegation had called on the Election Commissioner Sindh and also apprised the CEC through fax but no action seemed to have been taken so far. He said that apart from Karachi similar complaints were received from Larkana, Mirpur Khas, NawabShah, Khairpur, Ghotki, Sanghar, Kashmore and Hyderabad.
