evidence related to the government’s “involvement” in rigging the recent by-elections.
Corruption worsened, and the state of law and order deteriorated.
In addition to what the party described as “bad intentions” behind
some government legislation, the deteriorating economic situation in the country.
Asad Qaiser, one of the party’s most prominent leaders and former National Assembly speaker,
told the Dawn newspaper that the white paper is expected to be released next month.
He noted that specialized teams are currently working on compiling data
and observations related to the various files.
Pakistan..The awaited document
He added that what happened in the recent by-elections, particularly in the Haripur region,
“proved once again the government’s failure and declining popularity,” as he put it.
Caesar explained that the anticipated document will include a detailed presentation
of the economic situation, corruption issues, and allegations of election fraud.
In addition to a comprehensive assessment of the government’s performance
compared to the previous period of rule by the Justice Movement.
On the legal side, Qaiser said that a team led by Salman Akram Raja, the party’s general secretary,
He will be responsible for reviewing matters related to laws
and legislation passed by the current government.
He stressed that these laws – from the party’s point of view –
did not address “the issues of the masses” and did not provide tangible solutions.
Regarding economic and financial matters, Caesar stated that leaders from the party,
Among them are Timur Khan Jagra, Muhammad Zubair, and Muzammil Aslam,
who will work on analyzing the manifestations of economic slowdown and corruption.
He stressed that all results will be incorporated
into the final document before its publication.
Legal procedures
Raja had previously told the press that the white paper would be released soon.
While emphasizing that the party “will follow the legal path” in addressing election-related issues.
He referred to the hearing before the Pakistani Election Commission,
Party representative Ali Bukhari demanded equal treatment for all members.
He accused the committee of not taking some violations seriously.
For his part, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi confirmed
that he had informed the Election Commission of his government’s readiness
To take legal action if forgery is proven,
He pointed out that the issuance of Form 45 in the Haripur
elections took place despite “pressures,” as he put it.
There are discrepancies between the copies circulated through
the Comptroller’s Office and the original signatures of the polling agents.
Afridi insisted that the party would continue to criticize any policies that “violate the law”.
He stressed that the government must ensure the integrity of
the electoral process and apply the laws without exception.
