To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt.

The Price of Votes

A resident of Gulberg, Lahore (Pakistan) has reported that in Gulberg area the postmen are going around giving Rs. 1500 per house on behalf of the ruling party. In return they ask for a copy of N.I.C as verification that they have paid the money.

Question 1. They couldn't do pre-poll rigging more shamelessly. But Who is funding this ? Does it belong to the ruling party or is it some proportion of the taxes that we have paid (i.e. the government money?

Question 2 . what are they going to do with photocopies of N.I.C?

This is perhaps the most clear case of vote rigging and it should be highlighted in the press and to the election commission.
