Speaking to the media, Naqvi said, “Genuine voters from a particular community and supporting a specific party have been deleted under a planned conspiracy.”

He also alleged that names of several fake voters and Rohingyas have been illegally included in the voters’ list and urged the Election Commission to take action in the matter.

“Names of several fake voters have been included in the list. Around 700-800 voters have the same address. Names of Rohingyas have also been included in list; they should not be allowed to cast votes. We demanded the Election Commission to look into the loopholes before the election and take action against officers involved,” he added.
