Who Did the Most Rigging in Elections?

The way the politicians are hurling accusations of rigging at each other against

the general observations that the elections were free and fair shows their hands are also not clean. The most absurd statement came from Professor Ghafoor of JI who in a TV show said that only 15% turned out to vote and 85% of them bycoted the election because of their call.

There is credible evidence that former rulers of Pakistan who lived in exile spent billions out of their ill gotten money on lobbying  firms  not only in US  but also bribing media and  civil servants in Pakistan. Playing ethnic card against President Musharraf they bribed  civil servants etc and carried out massive rigging in elections.  They even engaged drama producers and movie makers to make fake videos of rigging by their opponents. In Karachi and Hyderabad and other big cities of Sindh people have voted for MQM and there is clear division in Sindh of rural and urban politics and nice to see that both Zardari and Altaf are showing respect for mandate of each other and let us hope the hawks in their groups do not impair their thinking.

The fact is Nawaz league is reduced to a ethnic party of Punjab.And ANP is also ethnic party demanding change of name of NWFP. They want Musharraf out because they want to have a free hand in looting Pakistan as they had done in the past.

Sharif Brothers having failed in convincing the West that they could better job
in crushing Alquida and Taliban are now sympathizing with the insurgents whose activities are being sponsored and masterminded by Indian RAW.
