ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shahbaz Sharif has rejected the proposal to use an electronic voting machine. Opposition leaders in the National Assembly said that instead of electronic voting, they should worry about the devastated economy, inflation, and people dying of unemployment. According to details, in a statement, he said that the Election Commission of Pakistan has declared it unworkable, the electronic voting system has been rejected by the whole world, electoral reforms are possible with the consultation of the parties and public opinion. Such important national tasks are not carried out on the basis of desire or order, but the sensitive work of electoral reform is done with the will and confidence of the entire nation and the axis of the aspirations of the people in the parliament which has been locked for 3 years.
The PML-N president said that the country's reputation is enhanced by justice, transparency, and rule of law and not by electronic voting machines. That is why the PML-N had carried out electoral reforms in 2018 in consultation with all political parties, including the PTI, and electoral reforms are possible with the consultation of all parties, the light of public opinion and consensus.
Former Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said that no one had any objection to the electoral reforms in our time while the historic document of the signed electoral reforms and the manifestation of everyone's consensus still exists today, when the opposition made positive suggestions. When the Charter was talking about the economy, the NRO was insulted by making noise.
