Imran Khan tried to pin poll rigging on Geo sans evidence

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan went on air on Saturday and also pinned the allegation of rigging on Geo News but failed to produce any evidence to support his claims.

Imran Khan was asked to provide proof to back his allegations but he spent several days dilly-dallying and then finally held a press conference on Saturday in a bid to prove his accusations.

To a question by a reporter, Imran Khan only referred to page number 5 of the ‘white paper’ published by his party over the alleged rigging of the general elections. When we looked at this page, it left us amazed as it only said that Pakistan Muslim League-N got maximum coverage by Geo TV.

This in no way qualifies to be an evidence of rigging.

However, the report released by the European Union’s Election Mission states that PML-N’s share of Geo News programming stood at 25 percent while that of PTI’s at 21 percent.
