PPP sets up cell for election

Published May 2, 2004

KARACHI, May 1: Pakistan People's Party will set up an election cell to monitor the election process. The cell would work round-the-clock and inform the media and human rights organisations about the polling process.

This decision was taken at a meeting held at the Bilawal House here on account of government's alleged intervention in the upcoming byelection.

The candidate for PS-127 presented a report to the cell against the MQM candidate from the constituency. He said that a secret cell has been established to get the MQM candidate elected in the election.

He further claimed that the governor himself is monitoring the cell. Soon after the announcement of election schedule, more than a dozen ministers and advisers belonging to the MQM are visiting the area, along with heavy police contingents, he claimed, adding that government resources are being utilized for the party candidate.-PPI
