Bilawal rejects fact-finding report on RTS failure

Author: News Desk

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has rejected a report prepared by a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s fact-finding committee on the failure of the Result Transmission System (RTS).

“We can’t accept the report prepared by the PTI’s own fact-finding committee as the party itself benefitted the most from RTS crash,” a statement quoted the PPP chief as saying.

Bilawal reiterated his demand that a joint parliamentary committee be formed to conduct a thorough investigation into the discrepancies in the election process, including RTS failure.

The PPP chairman once again asked the prime minister to order an immediate inquiry into the deaths of those martyred in terrorist attacks during the electioneering and on the day of the general elections.

“We condemn terrorist attacks, pay tributes to martyrs but this is mere lip-service if there is no serious effort to catch their killers. What is the use of these tribute and condolence messages if perpetrators of these heinous crimes roam around freely? Time has come for the government to provide answers and justice to the families of the victims,” Bilawal added.
