Hitting back at allegations of the caretaker government failing to provide a level playing field in the elections, interim Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar questioned what more was wanted after PTI loyalists were allowed to contest the polls.

“How come you have the largest group in the National Assembly that is being supported by the PTI. They are the single largest group and still, we are being accused that we managed the rigging.”

Kakar said the government maintained that loyalists of Imran Khan were allowed to contest the elections and “that is exactly what happened but there is no appreciation”.
