Atta Tarar storms Bilawal’s office ‘allegedly to foil vote buy bid’

The rivalry between the PML-N and PPP in NA-127 intensified when the former’s candidate Atta Tarar allegedly barged into the latter’s party office along with his supporters on the claim that votes were being bought there for his opponent candidate PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.

The PPP has termed it an attack on the party election office by the “PML-N goons” led by Atta Tarar in which they abducted some PPP workers as well. The PPP also announced moving the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) against the PML-N candidate.

In Charge PPP Central Election Cell has written to the Chief Election Commissioner detailing the incident of harassment & violence at the hands of PMLN Candidate Atta Tarrar. This is not an isolated incident but another in a series of intimidation tactics being used by Mr Tarrar, who is being assisted by state machinery. Shameful!

PML-N leader Ataullah Tarar has alleged that PPP members were caught by him engaging in “buying and selling of votes” in Lahore’s NA-127 constituency.

PPP Senator Sherry Rehman has expressed displeasure at the violation of the election code of conduct and bullying by PML-N workers.

In a post on X, she condemned the attack on the PPP’s election office a day earlier and demanded immediate action from the ECP. “The election commission should take strict notice of this incident and reject the papers of the representatives involved in the attack,” she demanded.

“Due to the popularity of the People’s Party in Lahore under the leadership of Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, the opponents have become confused,” Sherry added.
