New Delhi: Calling out his own country over rigged general elections, Pakistan‘s leader of Opposition of Pakistani Senate Shibli Faraz, praised India for conducting free and fair Lok Sabha polls. Shibli Faraz expressed disappointment over the failure of Pakistani authorities to conduct free elections, and asked why it cannot conduct a free election as done by India in the just-concluded Lok Sabha polls.
Pointing out the flaws in electoral system of Pakistan, Shibli Fazar highlighted in the Parliament how India held its lengthy election with the EVMs and results were announced without any allegations of fraud. ” Why can’t we achieve the same?” the Pakistani leader questioned.
“I want to quote the example of our enemy country, they have just concluded their elections in which more than 800 million people voted. Thousands of polling stations were set up. They even made a polling station for the areas where just one person had to cast his vote,” said Faraz praising the Indian election system. “No one said that there were any discrepancies, or they were rigged,” he added.
Faraz asked the Pakistani authorities to learn from India. “We want to be in the same league as India. In our own country, no one agress with the election results. This is damaging our election system,” the Pakistani leader said in the Parliament.
