Former Rawalpindi commissioner Liaqat Ali Chatha withdrew all of his accusations of election tampering and said he was “extremely ashamed, embarrassed.” He also revealed he took the action in concert with a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader. In a statement to the Election Commission of Pakistan, Chatha said, “I accept full responsibility for my actions and surrender myself before the authorities for any kind of legal action.” (19). The nation’s political temperature rose last Saturday when Chatha abruptly tendered his resignation, citing “guilty conscience” for encouraging widespread election manipulation in the garrison city. During the infrequent press conference, the commissioner accepted accountability for the “rigging.”
