AML Chief fears foul play in upcoming polls

RAWALPINDI: Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rashid has expressed apprehension that majority would be turned into minority in Gilgit-Baltistan in the upcoming polls for the chief minister’s seat as it had happened during election for the Karachi mayor.
In a series of tweets, the former interior minister said the GB Assembly was locked up by police while the speaker was helpless. He said the rigging in election for GB CM would annihilate democracy which was already weakened by the way polls were held in Karachi and Azad Kashmir.
He said the PML-N wanted to snatch the chief minster’s slot despite having only three seats in the GB Assembly. He said the PML-N was incognisant of the sensitivity of the region in context of the international politics. –Agencies
