Pakistan vote step forward, but irregularities: EU
By AFP
May 13, 2013 - Updated 166 PKT
ISLAMABAD: High turnout in Pakistan's landmark election was a positive step for democracy despite the fact the campaign was marred by violence and irregularities, an EU observer mission said Monday.

Violence during the campaign and on election day had been "terrible, but must not overshadow the achievements of the process", MEP Richard Howitt told a news conference in Islamabad.

"The turnout in defiance of the threats against the process was an extraordinary vote of confidence in democracy itself.

"This election was a step forward, but one from which we call on all those elected to sustain their commitment to reforms, in the interests of good government for the people and governance for the state," he said.

Michael Gahler, chief of the mission, congratulated Pakistan's election commission for making improvements to its election law and improving its voter roll, as well as ordering re-polling in a contested seat in Karachi.

But the mission said "women and vulnerable groups" were persistently under-represented" despite nearly three times the number of women candidates and a higher women's turnout than at the last polls in 2008.

Observers said voting procedures were mostly followed and that in a "vast majority" of stations all essential material was present, but classified nine percent of stations visited as "poor or inadequate".

But the mission did not go at all to the southwestern, insurgency-torn province of Baluchistan or the semi-autonomous tribal belt on the Afghan border where the Taliban and Al-Qaeda have strongholds.

It also only "undertook limited observation" in Karachi, where the mission said observers saw "some serious problems in polling and were also restricted in their activities".

Karachi was the focus of most complaints reported by rival political parties.

Important:

All concerned Overseas Pakistanis please call the Metropolitan Police in London on 0044 2072301212 Or dial 999 and tell them about Altaf Hussain's open threats to kill civilians of Karachi and threatening to make a separate country on live television. Scotland Yard has already received tremendous complaints about Altaf Hussain and his fascist MQM since yesterday evening and is working on it!

Note that Altaf Hussain is just a British National and can be prosecuted under Public Order Act (1986). Let him and his cronies taste the law they ridicule!

DO IT THOSE WHO ARE IN LONDON !!

عمران نے ڈرون گرانے کا کہا تو امریکا نے عمران کو گرایا اور نواز شریف کو اٹها لیا

ا لیکشن سے پہلے ہر طرف عمران عمران ہی نظر آرہا تھا پھر نواز اور عمران کے ڈرون پر بیانات آئے جب عمران سے پوچھا گیا کہ اگر ڈرون حملہ ہوا تو آپ کیا کریں گے تو ان کا جواب تھا وہ آئندہ ڈرون گرادیں گے اور یہی سوال پوچھا گیا نواز شریف سے تو وہ چپ ہوگئے اس لئے الیکشن میں وہ اوپر آگئے

as someone quoted article 3 of constitution....democracy is not just coming out to vote....democracy requires that the state ensure the rights of minorities, women, handicapped etc in a fair and free manner.
