This is nothing but pre-poll rigging.
The PML-N government, Ershad pointed out, is leaving no stone unturned to make elections controversial he lamented. PTI Azad Kashmir believes in the rule of law, the supremacy of merit and fairness.
Therefore, PTI will become the voice of thousands of educated and unemployed youth. Apart from protesting against this law, the door of the courts will also be knocked, he said.

It is our common responsibility to challenge and protest against this unfairness Ershad Mahmud emphasized, he emphasized.
