Senior PPP leader Senator Faisal Raza Abidi said on Sunday that the mandate of the PTI was stolen in the general elections. Talking to media persons, Abidi said the PPP, ANP and MQM should have refrained from taking part in the general elections. He said open threats were hurled against the PPP, ANP and MQM and they were not allowed to come out in open for the polls campaign. He said these political parties should have boycotted the polls.
The PPP leader said the secretary Election Commission had admitted that transparent elections were not held in 50 constituencies then how notifications of polls results were issued in these constituencies. He said transparent polls will be held in 2014 and the people will see the results.
To a question, Abidi said if the Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline project was started in 2008 then the PPP would have been tore apart. He said 71,000 Pakistanis have sacrificed their lives for Pak-Iran gas pipeline project and Gwadar project. He said some world powers are hatching conspiracies against the Pak-Iran gasline project and Gwadar Port. He said everything in this regard will be brought forth in the coming session of the Senate.
