Fazlur Rehman said the PDM leadership categorically rejected the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Second Amendment Ordinance, reported The News International.The PDM chief said that the NAB ordinance itself was a dictatorship's remains and the same was being used for political revenge and, therefore, no one could expect fair accountability by the NAB.On electoral reforms, he said the use of EVMs was another name of RTS that was used to steal the 2018 general elections. "No one can expect electoral reforms for fair elections from a government which itself assumed power as a result of rigged polls," he said, adding that the incumbent government had no right to give election laws to the country, reported The News International.Fazlur Rehman said there was no need for local bodies' elections, rather, the opposition wanted fresh elections in the country.
