Elders from Frontier Region-Kohat on Tuesday warned that they would move the court against the shifting of district returning office from FR Kohat to Bannu. They asked the Election Commission of Pakistan and Supreme Court to take immediate notice against this illegal step, avoid pre-poll rigging in the elections.
Speaking here at Press Club along with elders from five tribes of Dara-Adam Khel, from FR Kohat, Haji Malik Fida said that the shifting of district returning office from FR Kohat to Bannu as a matter of grave concern, which was taken without any prior notice and unspecified reasons.
Flanked by Malik Noor Zaman, Haji Noor Sher Afridi, ex-MNA, Malik Haji Amanullah Khan and others, he viewed that the FR Kohat is more peaceful area as compared to FR Bannu, despite that the shifting of district returning office is totally out of context. He alleged the former provincial minister and candidate from constituency NA-47, Sher Azam Wazir is behind this unconstitutional act. He termed the step is a pre-poll rigging, demanding of the Election Commission of Pakistan to take immediate notice of it. We would not accept any individual step, which could undermine holding of free and fair election in the area, he warned.
He informed that the total registered voters are 100,000 in the constituency NA-47 FR Kohat, adding that there is no security threats as security forces taking control of the area. We would take every possible step, to again shift the DRO in FR Bannu, he vowed. Our protest will continue till acceptance of demands, he vowed.
Malik Noor Zaman said that the step is to be taken within a few hours, having any information to administration, assistance returning officer, and deputy commissioner about the decision. There was not also given information at Election Commission of Pakistan web portal, pertaining to such step, aimed at to undermine conducting of free and fair elections in the constituency, he maintained.
He also said the FR Kohat division is a more peaceful against the FR Bannu. He said that the decision could not be in favour of masses, and holding of transparent elections; therefore, he said the interim government and Election Commission of Pakistan should take immediate notice against this illegal act, and ECP should also declare ex-provincial minister, Sher Azam Wazir, as disqualified, if he found guilty in this case.
He warned if the interim government and ECP would not consider their demand, they would opt to move court against it. He further said that they would stage a sit-in outside the Governor House, and an organised agitation campaign against this unconstitutional step.
