MULTAN: (HRNW) Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on Saturday that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) wanted to hold elections via electronic voting machines (EVMs) as it wants to “strengthen democracy” and put an end to an “outdated system”.

FM Qureshi said this during a function held at various union councils of Multan’s NA-156, and meetings with different delegations.

“We made an attempt to utilise modern technology to ensure that the next elections should be transparent and no political party could make claims of rigging,” FM Qureshi was quoted in a press release.

The senior PTI leader said that the federal government wants to rid of the word “rigging” forever from the country’s dictionary.
