People are indifferent to elections: Baloch

RAWALPINDI—APDM central leader Liaqat Baloch has said people are indifferent to elections and bogus ballot papers and ballot boxes are being issued to increase election turn out which will not be accepted.
He said this in a press conference here Sunday after APDM meeting in Al-Moududi building.
He told APDM public meeting in Liaqat Bagh would take place as per schedule on February, 14 and all the arrangements had been finalized in this respect.
He pointed out Abdul Wadood had also decided to boycott the elections from PP-10 as per APDM decision. Election Commission itself was realizing that people were not taking interest in the elections. If government arrests the entire APDM leadership, election boycott campaign even then would continue, he announced.
He alleged “Bhutta khor” organization was responsible for worsening the situation in Karachi. Ban on Imran Khan entry into Sindh for the third time is conspiracy to weaken federation, he warned. By not allowing to hold public meeting in Nishtar Park Karachi, MQM had proved it wanted to impose its own will, he regretted. .
The language being used against the judges, lawyers and political parties was the worst fascist language, he charged. Contesting the elections was tantamount to support general Musharraf and validate his unconstitutional steps, he held.
Responding to a question about postmortem of Benazir Bhutto, he said autopsy was a legal requirement. However it depended on Asif Zardari to do so, he added.—Online
