Karachites demand democracy !!!! As the night progressed, the protesting crowd at Teen Talwar got larger in number, as more and more families joined the youth. Complaints had earlier been lodged to the election commission by some voters and political parties, alleging that certain polling stations were not given ballot boxes, ink, or, in some instances, sufficient security. “We weren’t allowed to vote!” complained first-time voter, Rabia Arshad. KU student Ahsan Farooq recalled his voting experience at Defence College for Women where polling did not start until 3pm. “We knew then that someone was trying to deny us our right to have our say.” After all the hype the ECP created about free and fair elections, Adil Basit, a 61-year-old resident of Defence, complained that May 11 was a huge disappointment. “There must be re-elections in all of Karachi and the army must be given charge of all polling stations.”
