Tabling ordinance regarding open ballot in Senate elections not unconstitutional: Gill
All parties admitting selling, buying of votes during upper house election in past: Gill
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) for Political Communication Shahbaz Gill said that tabling ordinance regarding the open balloting in the senate election was not an unconstitutional act.
He said that all political parties were admitting that selling and buying of the votes had always been done during the upper house election in past.
The SAPM said holding the senate elections through show of hands was the part of Charter of Democracy (CoD) and both the major opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) were signatory of the CoD.
He said no one could be part of the senate with the power of money during the present government as Prime Minister Imran Khan was strongly against the corrupt practices
Imran Khan was the only political leader who had taken strict action against his party members who violated the party discipline during the last senate elections, he added.
Shahbaz Gill said the government did not believe in politics of Changa Manga and everyone knew that who was responsible for introducing such type of practices in the past.
