FAISALABAD, Pakistan — President Pervez Musharraf said Thursday that Monday’s national elections would be free and fair, and warned opposition parties not to indulge in “agitation, anarchy or chaos” if they didn’t like the results.
His remarks seemed intended to counter widespread expectations that the government plans to rig the National Assembly elections to prevent a victory by the Pakistan Peoples Party and other opposition groups.
“Let there be no doubt that anyone will be allowed to resort to lawlessness in the garb of allegations about rigging in the elections,” Musharraf was quoted as telling a seminar of government officials in Islamabad, according to the state-run Associated Press of Pakistan.
