Controversies

Alleged confession of Riggging

On 4 May, during a tense confrontation between former Caretaker Prime Minister of Pakistan Anwaar ul Haq Kakar and PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi. Kakar issued a veiled warning, suggesting that if he were to disclose information about Form-47, the PML-N would find themselves in a difficult position. This exchange implied potential tampering in Form-47 during the election. However, Kakar later stated that his remarks were misrepresented by the media; he merely corrected Abbasi about the wheat scandal, implying that he never mentioned Form-47. Subsequently, PTI also demanded for an independent inquiry into the spat between Kakar and Abbasi and asserted that this verbal altercation has brought to light alleged election rigging.

Pakistan wheat import scandal

During the tenure of the caretaker ministry led by Kakar, 3.2m tonnes of wheat was unneccesarily imported leading to a crisis for farmers.
