ISLAMABAD: The Parliament on Monday approved Elections (Amendment) Bill to free elections from rigging and other corrupt practices. The purpose of the amendment was to eliminate corruption in elections and immediate provision of justice. Following the poor implementation of the election law, it has been lost public trust and the amendment has been made to reinstate public trust in the elections law. Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhammad Khan had tabled the amendment bill in the National Assembly. However, some members’ parliament lodged strong protest for delay in provision of bill copies.
