DADU, Oct 17: Liaquat Jatoi, the PML(Q) MNA-elect from NA- 233, has rejected reports that he and his MPA-elect brother, Sadaqat Jatoi, had been involved in rigging.

Talking to this scribe on Thursday, he accused some People’s Party Parliamentarians candidates of trying to rig the election. He alleged that 20 polling agents of his party had been injured by a gunman of the PPP candidate form PS-77, Qazi Shafiq Mahesar, and the party candidate from PS-76, Zafar Leghari, at some polling stations in Mehar and Khairpur Nathan Shah talukas.

He alleged that the Pakistan Muslim League (Q) polling agents were beaten over resistance to the casting of bogus votes by Mahesar and Leghari.—BoC
