Mr Burton said he supported free and fair elections in the country.

About politicians’ complaints regarding pre-poll rigging, he avoided giving any direct answer to the question saying he was new here and looking at the arrangements.

Punjab law and information secretaries and ARD leader Munir Ahmad Khan were also present on the occasion. —Reporter
