LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz has expressed happiness over the decision of Supreme Court (SC) to hold re-polling in National Assembly (NA) constituency NA-75 Daska.
In a post on social-networking website Twitter, Maryam Nawaz said, “Today, it has been proved that Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan and his government had stolen the votes of Daska people.” These corrupt elements also need to be made accountable for the kidnapping of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) staff, she demanded.
Maryam Nawaz further congratulated the PML-N workers and candidate Nosheen Iftekhar for bravely fighting these ‘thieves’.
مسلم لیگ ن کے تمام شیروں کو مبارکباد جنہوں نے ناصرف ووٹ چور ٹولے کا ڈٹ کر مقابلہ کیا بلکہ اپنے ووٹ پر پہرہ بھی دیا۔ شاباش ڈسکہ والو،شاباش ! شاباش نوشین @SyedaNosheenPK

The reactions came after SC rejected the plea of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and upheld the decision of ECP regarding re-election in entire National Assembly (NA) constituency NA-75 Daska.
A three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Umer Ata Bandial, heard the petition of PTI candidate Ali Asjad Malhi, challenging the ECP order of re-election in NA-75 Daska.
While announcing the reserved judgment, Justice Umar Ata Bandial remarked that the situation was not under control in the constituency on the day of polling.
