ISLAMABAD, Aug 28: Pakistan Muslim League (N) on Wednesday alleged that the military government has set up a cell in the GHQ to manipulate the election results.
The computer-aided cell has been constituted to ensure success of pro-government candidates in the elections, party’s central information secretary, Siddiqul Farooq told Dawn by phone.
He said in the first stage the government agencies tried to formulate alliances of pro-government parties and forced them for make seat-to-seat adjustments on the basis of data available with this cell.
The establishment of a cell for the purpose of rigging or manipulating results had caused a serious alarm among the political leaders, he added.
