ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 17th Aug, 2018 ) :President Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Shehbaz Sharif Friday demanded constituting a parliaentary commission to probe what he claimed rigging in the recent general election.

Speaking in the National Assembly he suggested, the Parliamentary Commission should present its report to the public and House within 30 days.
