The PAT leader took to Twitter and wrote, "As long as the system is corrupt no honest caretaker would be able make any change." He further wrote that the corrupt system has not delivered free and fair elections in the past and one should not expect the system to conduct and deliver fair upcoming elections.
As long as the system is corrupt no "honest caretaker" would be able make any change. Neither has this corrupt system delivered free and fair elections in the past, nor should anyone expect for it to do so in the future.
