HYDERABAD, Oct 6: The European Union election observers, Alistair Robert Jordan and Manuel Sanchez De Nogues, on Saturday met with the Sindh National Council (SNC) leaders, Hussain Bukhsh Thebo and Punhal Saryo, and discussed matters regarding the election.

The SNC leaders said that genuine democracy had become a misnomer in Pakistan and the rulers had always promulgated black laws to obtain the desired results in the general election.

However, they said, that the present government had far surpassed all previous governments in election malpractice.

The SNC leaders made it clear to the EU mission that the repeated claim by military rulers to hold free and fair elections was the biggest joke of the century.

They dispelled the impression that the rulers were liberal.

They warned that if they were supported by foreign powers, the breakout of civil war and an extreme type of fundamentalism could not be ruled out in Pakistan.

They said that in the interest of democracy and world peace, it was of paramount importance that the European Union and the US should immediately stop supporting the military rulers.
