SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)-NA.125

The ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has decided to file an appeal against an election tribunal’s decision to hold re-elections in NA-125 constituency of Lahore. PML-N said that though Saad Rafique was willing to go for a reelection but the PML-N believes accepting the decision could set a dangerous precedent. WhileAhsan  Iqbal has been known to be more articulate, and not anyone can record a few irregularities, etc, it must be noted, however, that there was a lot more truth in some other parts of the N-league press conference yesterday. “The detailed judgment… does not indict us of organising rigging or any other illegal measures to make the process partial”, he said. And that, interestingly, destroys the plot for PTI, which has been celebrating the verdict as vindication of its position all along. 

On the other hand though PTI has been celebrating this decision but it should not forget that after cantonment board elections, it would not be smooth road of PTI to win the game and if it loses this election it would lose the little worth enjoys in the area. Also if it was the fault of authorities, they must be brought to accountability for such a huge lapse.
