Imran Khan accepts findings of judicial commission report
149
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chairman Imran Khan accepted the findings of the judicial commission report but expressed reservations over not being given a copy.
Read: JC finds 2013 elections 'fair and in accordance with law'
“We have not seen the report yet, if we had, I would have been in a better position to comment on the report,” said Imran Khan while addressing a press conference in Chitral. “We will comment on the report tomorrow after reading it.”
The judicial commission was formed on PTI's request to probe rigging allegations during the 2013 polls.
Imran said PTI was the only political party which brought proof of rigging, while the other 21 parties — which also admitted the elections were rigged — agreed with the party's point of view.
“But PTI was the only political party which fought the case against alleged rigging,” claimed the PTI chief.
Earlier Imran Khan had demanded a copy of Judicial Commission's report. The report was released last night but has yet to be handed over to PTI. However, a copy of the complete report has now been made available on the law ministry website.

Imran expressed his displeasure through Twitter. The report has been handed over to the incumbent government.
Meanwhile, PTI General Secretary Jehangir Khan Tareen, while talking to DawnNews today, has expressed reservations against the claims made by the ruling party leaders.
Tareen had said that the leaders were at a point of advantage and should not have issued any statements before the details of the report were made public.
The three-judge commission, headed by Chief Justice Nasir-ul-Mulk, had held 39 sittings and completed the hearing on July 3.
The commission — constituted under a presidential ordinance on April 3 after months of a tug of war between the PTI and the PML-N — had commenced proceedings on April 9. It recorded testimonies of 69 witnesses, including politicians, government and judicial officers and journalists.
The ordinance expected the commission to submit its findings to the government as soon as possible, preferably within 45 days of its first meeting.
Justice Amir Hani Muslim and Justice Ejaz Afzal Khan were the two other judges in the commission, which was constituted as a result of a memorandum of understanding signed between the PML-N and the PTI.
The PTI had staged a 126-day sit-in in Islamabad last year to press for its demand for a judicial inquiry into the rigging allegations.
According to the terms of reference (ToR), the commission was to investigate whether the elections were manipulated or influenced in a systematic manner or by design by anyone, or not. It was also to decide whether the poll results, on an overall basis, were a true and fair reflection of the mandate given by the electorate or not.
Prime minister to address nation today
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will address the nation today, according to a statement issued by Prime Minister Office. The premier is expected to take it into confidence over the findings of the Judicial Commission which was formed to probe rigging allegations during the 2013 polls.
Prime Minister House had received the report of Judicial Commission on the alleged rigging in the 2013 general elections following which the premier summoned his legal team for a briefing on the report.
The spokesman of Prime Minister House had earlier said the team will brief the Prime Minister on the report and subsequently the report will be uploaded on the website of the Ministry of Law.

Even if the Judicial Commision 's decision does not endorse PTI claims they are still the winners as they forced this commission on the ruling government. PMLN is also the winner as they accepted this commission and have a clean chit now. This should be used as a precedence for the future too.

@Catalyst For clarity the ordinance does not mention the name of any political party. PTI has himself refrained to include their name in the ordinance and in the terms of reference. Commission was formed through Ordinance by the government and Supreme Court has rightly in accordance with law submitted the sealed report to the government and not to PML(N). If PTI claims that they should be given a copy by the Supreme Court as a right then this right is available to all the political parties. This stance of PTI is not right. Report is a public document and hopefully will be released by the government. If the government does not release then aggrieved party has the right to approach the Courts. Its good that PTI has approached the SC for a copy, but it is not right that they should make it a point for political scoring and undermining the SC.

In our country it is easy to blackmail the sitting government because the population of this country is poor, under-fed and constantly discontented and ready to join any pandemonium against the government whipped up by anyone who has the necessary resources. It is the duty of the government and all other powerful agencies of the country to strive to raise the living standard of the people. That can only happen when the people themselves are ready to accept and adopt new ideas. New ideas can only be accepted by open minds, which means hundred percent modern-literacy. The Prime Minister is going to address the nation today. He should use this opportunity to declare that as of today every child born in this country will, by law, be put into school as soon as he/she reaches school-going age.

Nevertheless, IK promised that now JC will look into the matter and that NA elections will definitely take place in 2015.
Whatever his motivations, he has totally failed to deliver on his promises., and has egg all over his face now.
For the sake of the country, he should just quit now and concentrate on his hospital work etc. We can ill afford more marches, sit-ins, dharnas, slogans etc.
Even his ally, Dr T-ul-Q gave up on him and went back to Canada.
Did IK bring about any change with any of this; or did he just plunge the country into chaos for whole year?
Sometimes, it is best to quit whilst you are ahead - but IK wants power even more than the other parties, and that is the real danger here - as he is taking the country backwards.

Well well we are nation of honest people Zardari and Nawaz Sharif never did any corruption and elections 2013 were fair and according to law. If you believe all the above than I offer you my congratulation to on the government you elected.
I personally think Pakistan can do lots better (but there are always less people on the side of truth and honesty).
Good ahead make more money for PMLN and Nawaz Sharif

To resolve rigging or no rigging, Randomly pick 1000 voters from each province. Ask them who they voted for in General Election 2013. Compare their answer with what they have in the Election ballot bags. If more than 50% answer match, then the election was fair, if not then re-do the election and this time for god sake, use electronic devices for voting to eliminate rigging.

Will Imran Khan now also compensate the nation for the damage his dharnas did to democracy in Pakistan, to the Pakistan economy, and apologize to the people of Islamabad whose lives he disrupted, and compensate the policemen hurt as a result of PTI's aggressive behavior towards them? Of course not. That would require Imran Khan to have character that he does not have.

This allegation has cost the nation very dearly in money and time spent by the senior judges. Imran has lost his case therefore he should be made to pay all the cost to avoid the repetition of such events again. No amount of money can bring back the unfortunate few who died in this PTI adventure. May be some one should also be made liable for those deaths as-well.

Judicial Commission's Report is an encouraging confirmation of Pakistan's progress towards democracy. Although full of corrupt practices the 2013 elections can be considered as "democracy in progress". Hopefully the next general elections in Pakistan would be much improved one.

Okay so IK lost the case and its not a big deal. Due to IK pressuring the court ordered a full probing of parties to determine if there was any rigging and apparently there was no rigging which is a positive sign. Now I don't support or affiliate myself with any party but Pakistanis must understand that their vote has led to this misery. This government has wasted tax money, took loans from IMF for dumb projects etc. Our choices has led our country to be in this position. We can blame the west, blame our politicians, blame India, bit never accept our own stupidity and foolishness...
