THROUGH these columns I would like to express my gratitude to the Chief Election Commissioner who is making all efforts to ensure the forthcoming general election to be free, fair and transparent.

I would, however, like to remind the CEC that the elections like always would remain unfair, one-sided and rigged, unless the gerrymandering of the constituencies, particularly in Karachi and in parts of Sindh, are rectified as early as possible.For the sake of justice to all citizens, I shall earnestly request the commissioner for an immediate attention to the stated anomaly.

Failure could possibly further aggravate the existing unlawful and unjust situation.
