The experienced crooks of PDM were trapped in their own ploy, Dr. Firdous said.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Special Assistant to the Punjab Chief Minister on Information, Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan said the corrupt group of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) – which got Yousaf Raza Gillani elected as Senator by horse-trading – is now hiding faces over his humiliating defeat in the Senate chairman election.
The SACM took to Twitter on Saturday and said every passing day is authenticating victory of Prime Minister Imran Khan’ stance by exposing PDM. The experienced crooks of PDM were trapped in their own ploy, she remarked.
It is pertinent here to mention that the members of the Upper House of the Parliament on Friday elected by a majority vote the government-backed Sadiq Sanjrani and Mirza Muhammad Afridi as chairman and deputy chairman of the Senate respectively.
Balochistan Senator Sanjrani secured 48 votes out of a total of 98 cast for the seat of chairman Senate, defeating the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) – an 11-party opposition alliance – candidate Syed Yousaf Raza Gillani who received only 42 votes, while eight votes were rejected.
Likewise, ex-FATA Senator Mirza Afridi secured 54 votes out of a total of 98 cast for the seat of deputy chairman of the Senate, defeating PDM candidate Abdul Ghafoor Haideri who received only 44 votes.
