LAHORE: Former Rawalpindi commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha’s allegations of rigging in the February 8 elections were refuted by all groups of the Punjab bureaucracy, who stated that the accusations were his “personal opinion,” The News reported Sunday.
Meanwhile, top officials from the Pakistan Administrative Service (previously DMG Group) and the Provincial Civil Service (PCS) have agreed to remain silent on the claims until a probe is conducted.
Chatha resigned the day before from his protest against electoral irregularities on February 8 under his supervision, claiming that he had done damage to the people of his city.
