As per details garnered, PML-N’s leaders held presser here in Islamabad Saturday.
Speaking on the occasion, former speaker of National Assembly (NA) Sardar Ayaz Sadiq stated that he telephoned CEC at 12PM in bid to acquire time for meeting. Sadiq went on to say that CEC didn’t respond despite call.
“When we [read PML-N’s leaders] arrived at the office, CEC had already left for home. We wanted to table our concerns pertaining to rigging in General Elections 2018 before CEC. We also wanted to discuss issue of Form-45”, he added.
