Marriyum Aurangzeb demands Chatha to prove allegation against CJP, CEC

Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) leader Marriyum Aurangzeb said that Commissioner Rawalpindi Division Liaqat Ali Chatha should be brought to justice if he fails to prove allegations.

She was speaking to reports in Lahore after bomb shell allegations levelled by Chatha against Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa, Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja and other administrative officers.

“Did you provide any proof in your press conference,” the former information minister asked “I will prove the allegations of the Rawalpindi commissioner wrong,” she said.

“There was a hearing for the petition and it was said that if anyone has any proof to challenge these elections, they should come forward with it,” she said.

“There must be [some] document regarding these claims. Perhaps, a message, a phone call or some proof should exist. If someone pressured you or any RO [returning officer] or any form 45 was changed, or form 47 was changed, some ballot paper was passed […] there must be something (proof),” she said.

Aurangzeb was off the view that country is going through a “critical juncture” and everyone should act responsibly or everyone would “lose everything” if there was a “big loss”.

“I respect and I request everyone that we all should act responsibly,” she said adding “the country is going through such a critical junction that it would be everyone’s loss if a ‘big loss’ happens”.

“You [Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha] have charged someone with something so go to the court of law.”
