Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan on Monday rejected PTI’s allegations in the by-polls held a day earlier. Speaking at a press conference the Minister said by-polls held on Sunday on 8 seats of National Assembly and 3 seats of Punjab Assembly were held in a free and fair manner.
“This is a testimony to the fact that the institutions are fulfilling their responsibilities within the constitutional ambit.” He said the Election Commission of Pakistan especially deserves appreciation for conducting the by-polls in a responsible and impartial manner.
The Interior Minister said the PTI Chairman is resorting to baseless defamatory propaganda against the Chief Election Commissioner. Rana Sanaullah Khan said if the PTI leadership wants us to accept the decision of their voters then they will also have to accept the decision of those who voted in favor of the PDM candidates.
