A plea has been filed in a session court of Lahore against Fazl on his statement that he would not celebrate Independence Day.
Levelling allegations of rigging in the elections, he had said he would not celebrate Independence Day for his party was robbed of the right to vote.
Maulana Fazl held the Election Commission of Pakistan responsible for “rigging in the polls”. He lost polls on two National Assembly seats.
