Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Fazlur Rehman on Wednesday declared the electronic voting machine as the “simplest way to rig elections” as the alliance rejected the government’s “unilateral” electoral reforms and Azad Jammu and Kashmir’s election results.
Fazl’s remarks came following a meeting between the Opposition alliance in Islamabad after a two-month hiatus, during which it was decided PDM will “direct all its efforts in ensuring free and fair elections [take place] in the country.”
The meeting’s participants unanimously agreed the “country faces grave internal and external threats”, and that the incumbent government has “completely failed” in combating the prevailing threats, the PDM chief said.
