Form-45: PML-N raises questions on PTI's objections

Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) raised questions on the objections of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) regarding Form-45.

While addressing a press conference in Lahore, former Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said that a campaign was launched that the elections are not taking place and PML-N is running from elections. Whereas this election was important for us because the real election was being held since 2013. No party raised any objections or question to the election process from morning to evening. These people floated Form-45 in the market first.

Marriyum Aurangzeb stated that screenshots were submitted instead of the original Form-45, if the matter is of Form-45, then most independent candidates were successful in it which means all these forms were fake.

“It cannot be possible that the Form-45 we have, are fake and those screenshots you have are originals. If there is an objection, the answer is the original form 45,” added PML-N leader.

The leader of PML-N continued to say that PTI is putting the forms on V-sites but not submitting them to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) because they know that they will be proved to be fake the day they are submitted.

What will they do if asked to give Form-45 to international media. It cannot happen that if they lose the election, they hang their clothes outside the Supreme Court, threaten and insult many institutions and ask them to agree, they added.

She further said that this is a conspiratorial group, go to the Election Commission, if you are not cool, go to the High Courts and the Supreme Court. We did not get relief in Shehbaz Sharif's Karachi constituency, but the courts are giving reliefs to them.

PTI has created a spectacle, spreading anarchy in the country. They are saying the US intervenes, what will the US do? First they said ‘absolutely not’ and now yes, they stated.

Marriyum Aurangzeb said that they only want to restart the failed conspiracy in the country. They created a false narrative by using a few elements sitting in the media, we don't have monkey bars that start whenever they want.

On this occasion, PML-N leader Atta Tarar said that with the help of regular external powers, the results were distorted by planning, PTI created a cell of digital terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and spent 100 billion on it.

Atta Tarar stated that fake form-45 was provided to social media and media. PTI cell in KP was spreading fake form- 45 on social media, they are getting praised in KP and crying of rigging in Punjab.

He questioned that if there was rigging then would it be possible that PML-N leaders Rana Sanaullah, Saad Rafiq, Javed Latif and Khurram Dastgir would lose except. The tinkering with Form 45 was done to derail democracy.

The PML-N leader said that PTI hastily prepared Form-45 and released it to the media. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Awami National Party (ANP) candidates were getting 27,000 votes and Gohar Khan 10,000 votes. But PTI’s Gohar Khan was winning and ANP was behind.
