Rigging Happen Only in Karachi?

Posted on the 13 May 2013 by Azharnadeem

It is surprising to know that media is highlighting rigging in Karachi election so much as it seemed that the electoral process in the rest of country was completely transparent.

The people across the Punjab are shouting on roads as somehow because of the rigging in province the tsunami turned out to be a Muslim shower. It is worthy to note that people of Punjab actually took part in elections and we witness that they were supporting PTI. It can be a point of objection that where all the votes of PTI in Punjab vanished? It seem quite irrelevant to media, especially to few channels.

Saad Rafique
Karachi, which is on under discussion on every news channel as if MQM never took any mandate in Karachi. Why media is acting immature is beyond understanding. Saying that the polls in the metropolis were completely transparent is completely wouldn’t be fair but the fact that is overlooked that the rigging happened all across the Pakistan, particularly Lahore, Narowal, Gujranwala, Thatta, Shakkar, Multan, Jhung, where a leader of banned outfit was not allowing the result to be announced as it was not in his favour.

The biggest example of the “transparent” elections was NA-125 of Lahore, where the PML-N candidate Khawaja Saad Rafiq locked the polling station in DHA for 90 minutes and stamped votes on Lion symbol, with the help of Punjab police. Army’s intervention stopped him. However, the politicized news channels didn’t even mentioned it once despite of having proofs.

Isn’t media doing the real rigging by trying to ignite the sentiments of public especially the people of Karachi? By playing the same role which Waris Mir (father of Hamid Mir) played for the separation of East Pakistan by doing negative propaganda.

Wake up Pakistan, Wake up all patriots leaders of Pakistan. Our country is in the most crucial stage of existence. Please act mature. The demand for reelection only in Karachi will actually ignite Karachi on fire.

My request to all patriots is please avoid using direct statements against each other especially to the supporters of PTI and MQM. Please act mature, I am afraid that if we don’t act united right now GOD forbid, it will be too late. Media played its negative role at its best by diverting the attention of masses from Punjab (the main outcome determinant of Pakistan future government) to Karachi (for 1 seat only). Please think outside the box and don’t be a victim of 4th and 5th generation warfare.
