Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, the former caretaker prime minister, and Hanif Abbasi, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), got into a verbal altercation on the country’s ongoing wheat problem.
The altercation between the two legislators happened on Friday at a nearby hotel in Islamabad.
“You [Abbasi] and PML-N will hide your faces if I [decided] to talk on [issue] of Form 47,” Kakar said.
The former premier asked, “Have you come to arrest me?”
In response to the former prime minister’s statements, Abbasi insisted that, on a television appearance, he had told the truth about the matter at hand.
The Form 47 jab alludes to the claims of vote-rigging made by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and other parties over the alteration of the results of the votes held on February 8 viathe aforesaid Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) form which in essence amounted to provisional consolidated result of the constituency sans postal ballots in the polls.
The PTI has time again alleged that the poll results of Form 47s were tampered with and that the actual results were reflected in Form 45s, which recorded the number of votes cast at a polling station and how many votes a candidate received from that polling station.
