Members of the National Assembly (MNA) from Karachi on Tuesday criticised the governments of Punjab and Sindh for allegedly rigging the local elections, demanding that the elections in both provinces be declared null. Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal MNA's Muhammad Hussain Mehnati, Laiq Khan and Abdus Satar Khan Afghani claimed that the government had rigged the elections only to strengthen the rule of President Pervez Musharraf in Sindh and Punjab.
