ISLAMABAD, June 22: The People’s Party Parliamentarians has decided to challenge the voters’ list prepared by the Election Commission in the Supreme Court.

The party will also set up a protest camp outside the EC to denounce large-scale discrepancies in the list.

This was announced by head of the PPP’s Central Election Monitoring Cell Senator Latif Khosa while briefing reporters after a meeting here on Friday.

Mr Khosa said the protest camp would be set up next week and the PPP leaders and workers would observe a token hunger strike against the EC for preparing the faulty voters’ list.

He said they would file the petition in the SC before July 3 objections and applications for corrections in the voters’ list. He said the SC would be asked to stop the EC from publishing the final list of the voters.

Mr Khosa said they had lost confidence in Chief Election Commissioner Qazi Mohammad Farooq as he had failed to respond to their genuine demands.
