Corrigendum from ChitralToday
ISLAMABAD, Oct 3: There was a factual error in the report “Recounting of votes leads to deadlock” published in ChitralToday on October 2. https://www.chitraltoday.net/2013/10/02/recounting-ends-more-deadlock-reported/ In the report, it was stated: “Though in the case of the PPP candidate there might have been some confusion among the voters due to the presence of his namesake, Syed Sardar Hussain Shah, an independent candidate, appending Haji with the name of Ghulam Muhammad of the APML might not have created confusion or affected the decision of the voters.” The fact of the matter was, however, that there was also a candidate with the name of Ghulam Muhammad nominated by Jamaat-e-Islami in the May 11 elections. We regret this inadvertent lapse in our reporting.–Editor ]]>
With reference to Amir Sohail’s comment I would like to add that if Rehmat Ghazi alias Chief managed to get a ticket for himself through his connections, what do you say about Sardar Hussain? Who is to have the PPP ticket through Pir Karim Ali Shah and same is the case with another PPP stalwart Salim Khan who used Kohjas of Karachi.
I personally believe that PTI did very well in the last elections and getting 8,000 votes was not an easy task for the new party in upper Chitral. The rest we all know how did Haji used his cronies with money and Shahji used the Ismaili card to get votes. All the people are pretty sure that the PTI candidates allover Chitral were of good credentials and once given chance will prove themselves.
Dekho beita josh se nehi hosh se kaam lo. The people of KP are regretting for voting Imran Khan, the little brother of Taliban. He has just destroyed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Any mistake to vote him will be a blunder. PTI has no future in Chitral at least. The defeat of Rehmat Ghazi alias Charuno chief is enough to make PTI supporters understand that nobody will vote for PTI. People like Rehmat Ghazi, who manged to secure ticket for himself because as the administrator of Peshawar Development Authority (PDA) he had made good links with contractor Pervez Khattak, who is now the chief minister, cannot deliver to the people. The PTI supporters should organize cricket tournaments as politics is something which they could not afford to do.
I am a supporter of PTI and voted for it. PTI zindabad.–Zulfiqar Parimali.
