35 punctures punctured in comission

So given chance to cross question Najam Sethi in commission, Neither PTI nor their lawyer (Abdul Hafeez Pirzada) asked any question from Najam Sethi about 35 punctures (i.e. rigging in 35 constituencies)

PTI’s Mr Pirzada did not ask even one question from me in Judicial Comm today regarding “35 punctures”! Why? Because it is a big lie.

Now those who levelled this malicious allegation against me must apologise in public or pay damages in court.

Reality behind fiction of ‘35 punctures’ unfolds, it was a pack of lies, spun by a bankrupt conspiracy theorist

Re: 35 punctures punctured in comission

Ronde Pentee Punctra noo:rotfl:

Re: 35 punctures punctured in comission

It was quite stupid to throw accusations at Najam Sethi if they had no proof. It is being proven that something dodgy was done during elections but it doesn’t mean everyone on earth should be blamed or accused.

Re: 35 punctures punctured in comission

Same thing happened with CJ Iftikhar Chaudhary. PTI and in particularly IK couldnt make a single speech without making huge accusations on CJ for a long time. And not only that he kept on saying he’ll drag CJ into court. What happened then? He couldnt submit a tiny bit against him and actually ended up admitting that he has nothing against him. When CJ sued IK, he had to submit an apology.

And as usual, there was a out-burst of profanity against CJ, infact its still out there right now by youthias.

Thank you all for knowing from Day One that the 35 penture story was one big fat lie that has now been exposed. Shame on those who lied.

Re: 35 punctures punctured in comission

It’s bigger than 35 punctures, sethi has admitted that the bureaucracy had started answering to model town 10 days before the elections, one month after the elections he was made pcb chairman while his niece become a pmln MPA.

Re: 35 punctures punctured in comission

Dont tell me bigger or smaller things. Tell me about why IK (or his lawyers) did not cross question Sethi on the accusations that he throws on him left, right and center. This was the best available forum where he could actually make Sethi accountable.

If no clarification comes from IK or PTI, Of course people will assume that it was all just accusations. Same aeen baeen shaeen that he is doing from day one.

Commission is a serious forum not a Zee TV investigative drama where since A=b hence c=d aeen baeen shaeen will work. *

Re: 35 punctures punctured in comission

IK completely denying now that he never had said that there was any audio/video about 35 punctures.. his low tone says a lot about the changed instance :slight_smile:

Re: 35 punctures punctured in comission

This is one aspect of Imran’s politics which many critics have criticized. He would level allegations left and right on anyone rhetorically with a great conviction and then his army brigade of internet followers would spread it to each and every corner of this planet zealously …

najam will always be remembered as 35 punctures guy thx to PTI propaganda machine…

why in the world Pti lawyers did not ask him a single question on this topic?

Re: 35 punctures punctured in comission

and that’s why political sloganeering didn’t intervene.

Theory of “35 Punctures” Punctured

Najam Sethi](TFT-Story)

Issue: 05 Jun 2015

[HR][/HR]

The Theory of “Penti Pentures” (35 punctures) was supposed to explode with a bang. Instead it has evaporated into thin air without a whimper.There was no secret tape recording of mine informing Nawaz Sharif that I, as caretaker CM Punjab, had applied “Penti Pentures” (ie rigged 35 seats) to the elections in 2013. Indeed, not one word of “Penti Pentures” was even whispered by the great Hafeez Pirzada (with Imran Khan breathing down his neck) when I was cross-examined before the Judicial Commission last week. What was produced was a clip from my TV show of 7th July 2013 in which I had said that about fifteen days before the end of my tenure as caretaker chief minister Punjab on June 6th 2013, (ie, ten days after the election results were announced on May 11) I had become powerless and the Punjab bureaucracy was already looking to the designated new chief minister. So what was so strange about that, the CJP seemed to imply, when he asked Mr Pirzada to move on.

Imran Khan’s unending harangue about Nawaz Sharif “rewarding” me for applying “penti pentures” by appointing me chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board also fell flat. Indeed, it never went to the point of explicating the substance of the so-called “reward”. How could it? I have not drawn a penny in salary for two years. I have not even taken a luxury vehicle for my personal use. In fact, I have abolished all undue “perks and privileges” that previous chairmen enjoyed, like free First Class International Travel with spouse, a posse of hangers-on, a fleet of expensive rented cars, millions of rupees of free tickets for family, friends and cronies during international cricket events abroad, unlimited entertainment allowances, BoG meetings in holiday resorts, and a score-full of jobs in PCB for sifarishis and family.The “Penti Penture Theory” was based on idle talk cunningly fabricated by a maverick named Ejaz Hussain who was desperate to worm his way into the top echelons of Khan’s party. A gullible Imran bought into it readily because it suited his political ploy.

How could he manufacture a conspiracy theory of Nawaz Sharif stealing the election without challenging the results of the elections in the Punjab that contributed to Mr Sharif”s thumping victory? Hence it was critical to damn my administration. Fourteen months ago, I sued him in court to prove his allegations or pay damages for defaming me. He hasn’t appeared in court once, nor filed a word in response to my complaint. Much the same may be said of his lackeys like Naeem ul Haque and Shirin Mazari who have parroted the same lie ad nauseum, and “journalists” like Dr Shahid Masood who are constantly creeping out of the woodwork. The amusing fact is that only days after the fiasco in the Supreme Court, Naeem blatantly named the source of the “penti penture” story as Agha Murtaza Poya, the veteran politician and ex-owner of The Muslim newspaper, only to be rebuffed by a stout public denial by Mr Poya hours later.

The fact is that I was the caretaker CM nominee of the PPP and its allies. The fact is that the PMLN had fielded two candidates of its own but only acceded in my favour half an hour before the three-day deadline because it realized its nominees would most certainly be adjudged unsuitable by the ECP. The fact is that Imran Khan publicly welcomed my nomination as a consensus caretaker CM in March. The fact is that I refused to accept the nominee of the ECP, Qamaruzaman Chaudhry, as my Chief Secretary because Imran Khan publicly asked me not to appoint him. The fact is that I shunted 15 senior bureaucrats from the Punjab to Islamabad because they were allegedly close to the Sharifs. The fact is that I shuffled the bureaucracy from Patwari to Chief Secretary and SHO to IGP so that none could complain I was biased. The fact is that I retained two senior secretaries whose close relatives were contesting on PTI tickets. The fact is that my Home Minister was on the PTI’s Task Force on Terrorism.

The fact is that I even leaned on the Advocate General appointed by Shahbaz Sharif to resign his constitutional position in order to be neutral. The fact is that the only favour I ever did anyone was to Imran Khan when I allowed him to hold rallies in the centre of the small towns on his campaign trail in Southern Punjab, which was contrary to the SOPs of the elections. The PTI accepted the results as free and fair, a fact corroborated by FAFEN and over 100 international observers.Imran Khan didn’t have the courage to accuse ex-CJP Iftikhar Chaudhy, ex-Justice Khalil Ramday, and GEO/Jang Group in the JC, all co-accused with me in public. Now that his short-cut-to-power bid has failed and been exposed, he should have the courage to apologise to me and stop tarnishing my reputation.
