Results of Cantonment LG polls are verdict of people’s court: Saad

LAHORE: Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique on Sunday said results of yesterday’s Local Government elections in the country’s all cantonment areas are the verdict of people’s court.

Speaking at a press conference at the Lahore Press Club, he said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, accepting this ruling, must withdraw cases against poll rigging from election tribunals.

The minister termed the results as the reflection of people’s trust on the incumbent government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

He urged the PTI chief to do accountability of his advisor for wrongly provoking him during his party’s prolonged protests against the PML-N government.

Denouncing Election Commission’s decision to bar federal ministers from canvassing in the election, he said the issue would also be discussed at the party’s platform.
