Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) — Pakistan’s highest court began criminal proceedings against former army and intelligence chiefs over allegations of bribery that involved senior politicians in the country’s 1990 general elections.

The petition, filed in the Supreme Court in 1996 by former Air Force Marshall Asghar Khan, alleges that Pakistan’s controversial spy agency — the Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI — bribed the politicians to create a government that was more friendly to the military.

“Whoever was involved in that rigging, whether a military official or any civilian, should be brought to justice,” Khan said Friday outside the Supreme Court.

  1. 1990 election result was very clearly indicating that there was something wrong because PPP not getting a single seat from Punjab is unblievable .

    I never accepted the result but we can not do anything about it. Nawas group just sneaked in with the help of conspirators . These people must be tried and punished so that no one dare to do such a crime .
