Electoral rigging: Nawaz takes parties into confidence over judicial commission


ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has taken political parties into confidence regarding the formation of a judicial commission to investigate the alleged rigging in the 2013 general elections.
The prime minister met party representatives and informed them about the commission at the Parliament House on Tuesday.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on March 20 had agreed to form a judicial commission to probe allegations of 2013 poll rigging.
The prime minister welcomed PTI’s decision to reach an agreement with the government, saying they were already willing to form a commission, as he had written a letter to the Supreme Court on August 13, 2014.
Nawaz added that the government wanted to remove any misgivings among the parties through dialogue, and fully concentrate on resolving the challenges being faced by Pakistan, such as terrorism, energy shortage and putting the country’s economy to the path of progress.
