ISLAMABAD, Sep 11 (APP):Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib Saturday said that the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), during the election process, will close the door of fake mandate forever.
Talking to a private news channel, he said that the opposition rejected the EVMs without watching and understanding its functions and performance.
“Opposition parties in a favour to promote fraud and rigging in the electoral process in past.”
