PPP sees criticism against ECP `attack on national institution`

By Our Staff Reporter 2023-12-05

KARACHI: Terming the criticism against the Election Commission of Pakistan `an attack on national institution`, the Pakistan Peoples Party on Monday lashed out at the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz for deliberately creating controversies before the next general elections.

Speaking at a press conference at Bilawal House, PPP-Karachi president Saeed Ghani said that the MQM-P was not different from thePakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) in attacking nationalinstitutions.

He was of the view that the MQM-P had been criticising the ECP only to pressurise the constitutional body before the elections. `The MQM-P knows well it`s going to lose the elections badly.

So this campaign, against national institutions, is a kind of pre-emptive move from the party for face-saving after the elections.

He said the PML-N had all of a sudden woken up to change the course of electoral history in Sindh only on a `particular agenda`.

Mr Ghani also welcomed former MQM lawmaker Shiraz Waheed on joining the PPP.
