[DAWN] LAHORE: With rejection of the rigging allegations by the Judicial Commission, opposition parties which have so far been supporting the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is

's call for audit of the 2013 general election, have started distancing themselves from the demand.
Majlis Wahdatul Moslemeen (MWM) chief Raja Nasir Abbas says it was the PTI that had called for setting up the commission and that other parties had not been taken into confidence before making the demand.
The commission's verdict, therefore, does not apply to the MWM and other opposition parties, he says, insisting that the PML-N had committed "engineered rigging" and destroyed the evidence so that the "crime" cannot be easily proved in a court of law.
Raja Nasir seeks an end to politicking on the commission's report and urges the ruling party to instead focus on resolving masses' problems.
