LAHORE, Sept 19: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal has urged the visiting six-member European Union monitoring team to publish complete report on the pre-poll, polling day and post-elections situation.

The publishing of the report would reveal to the world about the level of transparency and fairness in the October elections, the EU team was told when it met MMA coordination committee here on Thursday.

The visitors were reminded that a team of foreign observers had monitored the April 30 referendum but did not publish its report.

Committee members Liaquat Baloch, Pir Ijaz Hashmi and Riaz Durrani said they were taking part in the elections though the government had not accepted their demands of making the Election Commission an independent and autonomous institution, besides setting up an interim national government.

They urged the EU team to also visit rural areas and hear the views of the villagers about the election process for, they believed, there would be no polling staff at many points to ‘facilitate’ the local contestants to rig the polls.
