LAHORE, Oct 6: Pakistan Awami Tehrik chairman Dr Tahirul Qadri has invited international observers to monitor polling process on Oct 10 in the two constituencies —- NA-127, Lahore, and NA-89, Jhang. Mr Qadri is contesting for both the seats.

In a letter written to Commonwealth observer Danny Oregon and deputy chief election officer Oscar Lehman on Sunday, he said as candidates of almost all political parties and alliances were contesting from the two seats comprising both urban and rural areas, they offered a good opportunity for electoral analysis.

Mr Qadri also invited their attention towards screening of PAT advertisement at wrong times on the PTV. — Reporter
