The EU monitoring team has told a news conference two days back that 1.5 million votes filed for Karzai had dubious status. The team said Dr. Abdullah had 0.3 million and Bashardost had 93,000 doubtful votes in their ballot boxes.

However, speaking to Pajhwok Afghan News on Friday, Bashardost rejected the observation and said he had no observer or representative in any polling station as he could not afford their expenses.

"I filed a complaint with the AG office yesterday about the EU monitoring team," said Bashardost while presenting a copy of the written complaint to this news agency.

The complaint says that the EU monitoring team observations about him were baseless and action should be taken against the team.

He said the EU team had committed the 'crime' in Afghanistan and it must be investigated inside the country. He said there were 27,000 polling stations all over the country. How it was possible for the few observers to visit all those stations?

Bashardost said he would send the same complaint to EU, UNAMA and the foreign troops stationed in Kabul.
