KARACHI: Pak Sarzameen Party (PSP) Chief Mustafa Kamal o Friday rejected NA-240 by-poll result and accused that MQM-P was made victorious through the rigging.
Addressing a press conference, he said that the election was ‘stolen’ from PSP which was the strongest contender among all contestants in the by-poll.
He termed the election as ‘bogus’ mired in terrorism.
Kamal claimed that 13,927 voters – around 3,500 more than the victor – voted in favor of PSP, but rigging was done to make MQM-P victorious.
He said that a PSP activist was killed while 10 others were injured while claiming he also sustained a bullet injury during the clash.
Kamal said that more than 40 PSP workers were arrested later during the night.
“It is not acceptable that we get hit by the bullets and the state remains silent.”
The ex-mayor of Karachi asserted that PSP’s workers did not have a single weapon and said that PSP did not retaliate and stayed silent for the sake of peace and protection of state.
