A shutterdown strike was observed in Harnai city on Monday in protest against alleged rigging in the re-polling of PB-45 Quetta.
The strike was called by Senator Moulana Abdul Wasey, provincial Ameer of JUI-F, Balochistan. Shops and markets were closed as a result.
Molvi Abdul Hanan, district Ameer of JUI-F Harnai, stated that JUI-F’s candidate Haji Usman Pirkani was shown as the winner on form-45, but his victory was reversed through alterations in form-47, leading to the victory of PPP’s Haji Ali Madad Jattak. JUI-F has condemned this act and vowed to use all democratic means to assert their rights.
