SIALKOT: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MPA Zeeshan Rafique along with party workers stormed the polling station during by-elections in NA-75 Sialkot.
The party workers entered the polling station forcefully and started chanting slogans against the Punjab police.
A heavy contingent of police reached the spot and managed to take out the protesting PML-N workers from the polling station. Both PML-N and PTI workers are alleging each other for firing.
Meanwhile, the process of polling in the area is slow.
On the other hand, Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja telephoned Inspector General of Police (IGP) Punjab Inam Ghani and directed him to control the law and order situation in NA-75 and PP-51 by-polls.
