LAHORE: The inspection judge of a local commission, Ghulam Hussain Awan, recorded his statement on Saturday before Election Tribunal Judge Kazim Ali Malik regarding irregularities in NA-122 polling stations and also submitted a report in this regard.

Awan told the tribunal judge that due to the negligence of polling staff, ballot bags with broken seals have been included in the report along with invalid votes and different coloured ballot papers.

Judge Kazim stated that if what the report states is true, he will personally inspect the NA-122 ballots and form a decision based on the commission’s findings, adding that he will take action against rigging in NA-122 polling stations according to the laws.

The tribunal judge has also summoned 150 witnesses on January 31, the list of whom National Assembly speaker Ayaz Sadiq’s lawyer submitted to the tribunal today, stating that ‘Imran Khan is untruthful’.
