Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Salman Akram Raja has said that all political parties should admit that a major blunder was committed on the day of the elections and that the only way to rectify this mistake is for all parties, stakeholders, and the establishment to sit down and acknowledge that a mistake has been made.

Speaking on the Aaj News program “Roobaro,” Raja said that rigging is not carried out by invisible forces. He added that it is known which forces played a role and who took out the ROs.

He said that the Election Commission can say whatever it wants, but all of these things are in front of everyone.

When asked if the entire Senate election process would have to be redone if the decision on reserved seats goes in favor of the PTI, Raja replied that this is a matter of constitutional interpretation.

He said that if the Senate seats are awarded to the JUI-F according to the constitution, the situation in the National Assembly will change, and the Senate election will also be affected.

He added that this is a key issue that will reshape our entire parliamentary system.
