The PPP has accused the Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) of planning election violence and demanded that polling stations in Pir Jo Goth — an area dominated by PML-F — be declared 'sensitive'.

The PPP has alleged that its workers and candidates have been attacked by the GDA, which is "now planning to burn the houses of PPP workers".

"The administration is helpless against Pir Pagara," the party has said in a statement, accusing the PML-F chief and spiritual head of the Hur Jamaat of being behind the planned sabotage.
