Senate chairman polls: Nawaz Sharif to meet leaders of political parties today
The former PM will discuss Senate chairman polls with the leaders
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif is all set to meet leaders of other political parties for the elections of Senate chairman in Islamabad today (Saturday).
According to party sources, the former PM will meet Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (F) chief Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman, Mehmood Achakzai, Hasil Bazenjo, Farooq Sattar, Khalid Maqbool, Sadar-ud-Din Rashdi and FATA Senators.
Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan had stated that joining ranks of Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari tantamount to quashing 21 years of struggle against corruption.
Khan overtly stated that PTI wouldn’t vote for Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) in the Senate elections. He stated that masses of both Balochistan and Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA) are suffering from sense of deprivation.
On the other hand, taking a u-turn, Chief Minister of Balochistan Abdul Quddus Bizenjo denied that he had entrusted Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari to nominate Senate Chairman.
Speaking in programme ‘Dunya Kamran Kay Saath’, Bizenjo said that he has not given any authority to Zardari for nominating Senate Chairman.
He asserted that if PPP did not agree to select an independent senator of Balochistan for Senate Chairman, his party will then consult Imran Khan
