Pakistan elections set to take place amid arrest rows | BBC News

Pakistan is set to go to the polls, but some are questioning how free and fair the election will be.

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been disqualified from running, and has received three prison sentences this week, while his party the PTI has had its electoral symbol removed from the ballot – resulting in its members running as independent candidates.

The PTI claims there has been a campaign of intimidation, abduction and harassment against them, which authorities in Pakistan deny.

If their army can do this to former Prime Ministers for 76 years, imagine what they must be doing to their supporters all these years :(

- Pakistani army never win any war and never lose any election -

[iammostofa]

Do not call it democracy in Pakistan, it is clearly Armiocracy? Army decides who to sit on the chair of PM, then employ all state machineries to make that happen.

[No_mans_land]

Never won a war, and never lost an election... that's Pakistan army😂😂😂😂😂😂

[vickkeevickkee]

As an Indian even I don't like Imran khan but this is a pure dictatorship of the Pakistan army and US.
We were saying from long, feeling bad for democracy and the people of Pakistan. The US should not interfere in Pakistan's internal matters. Let people choose who is right for them. ❤

Pakistan election is not election it's selection by army 😂😂😂😂

[yashtiwari]

Insane how people aren’t allowed to choose the leaders of their choice and forced to vote regardless!?

Maybe postpone the elections.
