Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed said on Thursday that rigging will end with the show of hands polling in the Senate elections and the credit will go to Prime Minister Imran Khan, reported 24NewsHD TV channel. 

“If Supreme Court of Pakistan gives a verdict for show of hands polling then it will be historic. In the last elections, there were 64 Senators but on the polling day 50 showed up. One wonders, how that happened,” Sheikh Rasheed said.
