LAHORE: A local commission assigned to inspect polling bags of NA-122 on Tuesday received 416 polling bags of the constituency from the district treasury officer.

The commission comprising retired sessions judge Ghulam Hussain Awan would resume its formal proceedings on Wednesday (today) at Nadir Hall of the DCO office. The commission was supposed to start its working on Monday but it could not do so owing to incomplete security and administrative arrangements.

If IK's allegation of rigging are proved correct , all dominoes of Nawaz Sharif would fall. It is a good beginning, let the truth come to light.
