Rose petals and bouquet placed at Rawalpindi Commissioner House

Flowers and bouquets were placed outside the Rawalpindi Commission Office. Former Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha stepped down after accepting responsibility for "rigging" in the February 8 election.

" We converted the losers into winners, reversing margins of 70,000/80,0000 votes in 13 National Assembly seats," he told the media at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.  

"I and the election commissioner should be penalized over rigging. I surrender to the police,” he added. 

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) refuted the allegations and issued a statement announcing a comprehensive inquiry would be launched soon.
