Benazir Bhutto alleged on Monday that the government was planning on rigging the elections against the PPP. “Besides all pre-poll rigging arrangements, the government has sent some 25,000 ballot papers to each provincial and National Assembly constituency to use against the PPP candidates in the upcoming elections,” she claimed while talking to editors of Karachi-based newspapers at Bilawal House. She said the PPP had formally lodged a complaint with the Election Commission against this plan. Benazir also announced that she had called a meeting of the PPP’s Central Executive Committee today to discuss whether the party should boycott the elections.
