MQM has claimed that its National Assembly candidate Arshad Vohra was attacked by armed PPP men on “the direction of Bilawal House chief guard Akram Baloch”.

Several MQM workers have also been injured, the party said in a statement.

According to the spokesperson, MQM workers were attacked when they confronted PPP workers who were allegedly involved in rigging at CMS school on Karachi’s Nishtar road.

“The election commission should take notice of the hooliganism and rigging by the PPP,” the spokesperson said.
