Pakistan Muslim League central leader Pervaiz Elahi has accused the Pakistan People's Party and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz of trying to sabotage the election process.
Elahi told his party's National and Provincial Assemblies candidates in Lahore on Thursday that the Election Commission should look into a statement by Asif Zardari threatening to burn polling stations on the polling day with the help of his party workers.
He also referred to Zardari's another statement that if the election were rigged, his party workers would repeat the same episode of burning and hooliganism, which took place after the killing of Benazir Bhutto.
Elahi said that the PPP had directly accepted the responsibility of losses to the tunes of billions to the public and private property and that by giving such statements, their leaders were trying to disrupt the elections.
He went on to say that the PPP had no respect for democracy and democratic institutions and hatched conspiracies against the democratic system and that in the past it was a proven fact that the leaderships of both the PPP and Nawaz-League had fled the country once they failed.
Elahi claimed that his party was the only one always taking the initiative in bettering the public welfare and that it was a symbol of the federation. He urged the party candidates to gear up their campaigns to help the party emerge as the single largest on February 18.
