Taimur Saleem Khan Jhagra, who was contesting from PK-79 as a PTI-affiliated candidate, has said that the worst kind of poll rigging in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s history was witnessed in the general elections.

He said that if their conscious were to come alive, they would not change the votes so blatantly.

Another PTI leader, Shandana Gulzar, also talked about the rigging in polls, alleging that the candidates were threatened.

She highlighted that “robberies” of polls took place in almost every constituency of PTI-backed candidates.

Gulzar added that such actions were close to inciting “war” with the citizens, drawing on the example of Bangladesh.
