Let the ECP declare the results officially first, and then pursue appeals with proof of rigging in the proper way. Anything else would not be effective.
There's only so much people will trust the process from now on. Thori si bhi rukawat di, these people are not going to accept it. Plus this issue is not being led by PTI, even though most were PTI supporters, PTI leaders were not involved, or if they were they were on the background. Teen Talwar protest started off facebook and just snowballed. Similar facebook pages are now up for Islamabad and Lahore.
This will keep happening for the next 5 years. For the next 5 years, each time a government makes a questionable decision I can just remember yaar yeh toh doh numbri leader hai, I can choose to ignore them.
This is not 2008 when the iphone type phones were new. Now smartphones are with every other person. And why do we have to rely on smartphones for these leaks? Shouldn't EVERY polling station have CCTV coverage? I mean these are basics to follow, but ECP itna pathetic tha, just like the government that created it 5 years ago.
Why should I bother submitting proof to the ECP, I'm submitting it to the public! Fakhru bhai ka khud ka rate laga hua hai...
In America we have strict limits about how close party advocates may approach polling stations. Pakistan's experience reminds me this isn't mere quibbling but a necessity.
You make good solid processes and stick to them. I'm telling you, in school student organizations we used to arrange carnivals that were better organized!
