LARKANA, July 3: Pakistan People Party, Larkana district, has accused the government of planning rigging and indicated that police and revenue officials were being transferred on a large scale without intimating the Zila Nazim and the DPO.

Talking to newsmen here on Tuesday, the General Secretary of PPP, Larkana, Mohammed Anwar Bhutto, alleged that similar transfers were being made in other districts which pointed to the government’s designs to rig the forthcoming polls.

He feared that the favourite police and revenue officials would be assigned rigging similar to that committed in the recent presidential referendum.

He referred to the interior minister’s remarks that the government was planning to get police help in the elections which, the leader opined, was aimed at supporting the “king’s parties”.

He said that the government had already started favouring such parties through delimitation in some constituencies and in some cases three talukas had been merged to form a constituency.

Mr Bhutto expressed his confidence that such plots would not succeed and the PPP would sweep the polls with an overwhelming majority.
