The Pakistani Opposition leaders are not just unfair, irrational but also premature to call the February 18 general election as rigged. What they are doing is conditioning the minds of the people that there’s cheating so that when they could not muster the votes they needed to control the parliament, they would accuse the government of cheating. Pakistan is a troubled and impoverished country. The people need food more than the rhetoric of their politicians. The Pakistani Opposition leaders should follow the Indians who could graciously accept defeat in the election.
