MUZAFFARABAD, Azad Jammu and Kashmir: Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday called Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz “products of Form 47,” accusing the PML-N of electoral rigging.
Addressing Pakistan Peoples Party workers, Bilawal alleged that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz had benefited from rigged elections for generations. He vowed to recover every vote and seat that he claimed had been taken from the PPP.
“Even a child knows that the prime minister and the chief minister of Punjab came in through Form 47,” Bilawal said.
Bilawal demanded that the AJK Election Commission investigate the PPP’s complaints and order re-polling in the disputed constituencies in the Mirpur division. He alleged that polling irregularities occurred at around 30 stations and said the party possessed video evidence.
